Bhekasana (Sanskrit: भेकासन; IAST: Bhekāsana), [1] or Frog posture [2] is a reclining asana in modern yoga as exercise. It is one of several poses that put the body in a shape like that of a frog: another is Mandukasana .
Uttana Mandukasana, Extended Frog Pose, has the feet under or just behind the buttocks, the knees wide, and the trunk stretched upwards. The elbows may point straight upwards, the forearms crossed behind the neck and the palms resting on the shoulderblades, or the arms may be stretched out wide to the sides.
A single asana is listed for each main pose, whether or not there are variations. Thus for Sirsasana (Yoga headstand), only one pose is illustrated, although the pose can be varied by moving the legs apart sideways or front-and-back, by lowering one leg to the floor, by folding the legs into lotus posture, by turning the hips to one side, by placing the hands differently on the ground, and so on.
