Q.Draw and label the diagram of Supta Vajarasan correctly.
Supta-Vajrasana reclines backward out of a kneeling Vajrasana position until the shoulders touch the floor, with the knees staying bent and together.
Technique: Sit in Vajrasana. Slowly place the elbows on the ground near the hips, then straighten the hands and lie completely back on the floor, with the shoulders resting on the ground and the knees remaining together. After practising this basic reclined position, the hands can be brought into a scissor shape under the shoulders -- the right hand under the left shoulder, the left hand under the right shoulder -- with the head positioned in the middle. To come out of the pose, the hands are freed first and placed by the sides of the body, and the elbows are used to push back up to the seated Vajrasana position.
Diagram labels: the kneeling/folded legs (unchanged throughout), the reclined torso and shoulders flat on the floor, and the crossed forearms behind/under the head in the advanced version.
Supta-Vajrasana: kneel in Vajrasana, then recline backward using the elbows until the shoulders rest on the floor with the knees staying together and bent -- the diagram should show this reclined, kneeling-legs shape.
