reclining pose

Horizontal body arrangement

A reclining pose is a position where the body lies back at an angle or fully horizontal.

The term appears most often in yoga, where poses like reclining bound angle or reclining twist are performed lying down.

In art, the reclining pose—especially the reclining nude—has been a classical subject since antiquity.
