{{short description|A reclining posture in modern yoga}}

Bhairavasana (Sanskrit: भैरवासन) or formidable pose, sometimes called Supta Bhairavasana (सुप्त भैरवासन),[1] is a reclining asana in hatha yoga; the variation Kala Bhairavasana (काला भैरवासन)) has the body balanced on the straight leg and one arm, as in Vasiṣṭhāsana. Bhairava is one of the eight aspects of the god Shiva.[2] The pose has also been called Aṇkuśāsana (अण्कुशआसन), the elephant goad pose.

Etymology and origins

The name comes from the Sanskrit words Kala (काला) meaning "dark, black"; Bhairava (भैरव) meaning "terrible, formidable",[3] the name of one of the incarnations of Shiva, the Hindu god described as destroyer and transformer;[4] and Asana (आसन, āsana) meaning "posture" or "seat".[4] Supta (सुप्त) means supine or reclining.

The pose is illustrated in the 19th century Sritattvanidhi under the name Aṇkuśāsana (अण्कुशआसन), from Sanskrit अण्कुश, an elephant goad.[5]

Description

The pose is a reclining posture with one leg stretched straight out, and the foot of the other leg behind the neck. The hands are held in prayer position in front of the chest. In the variant pose Kala Bhairavasana, the arm on the side with the bent leg is held out straight, supporting the body, while the arm on the side with the straight leg is held out, straight up.[2][6][7]
