Contortion Wiki

A wide legged sitting pose with the feet drawn to the abdomen. Knees and feet are hyperextended so that the tops of the feet brace each other, and both heels face outward.

Depending on the knees and ankles, the thighs may be positioned in somthing close to a side split, or parallel to each other, or somewhere in between.

Vamadevasana is a similar move with braced feet, but around a front split.

A w-sit is where the knees bend outward.
