Kurmasana+supta kurmasana. Sri K Pattabhi Jois Yoga Mala

Kurmasana has sixteen vinyasas, the 7th and 9th vinyasas of which constitute the states of the asana.
The state of the 9th vinyasa is called Supta Kurmasana [Reclined Tortoise] (see figure).
METHOD
Begin with the first 6 vinyasas of the first Surya Namaskara, as specified in earlier asanas. In the 7th
vinyasa and doing puraka, jump as in Bhujapidasana, lower down to the floor with the strength of the
arms, stretch the arms out under the thighs, straighten the legs, put the chin on the floor, lift the head to
some extent, and do rechaka and puraka as much as possible. Then, doing rechaka, bring the hands up
behind the back and take hold of the wrist; this is the 8th vinyasa. Next, cross the legs over each other,
put the head on the floor, and do puraka and rechaka as much as possible; this is the 9th vinyasa, the
state of which is called Supta Kurmasana. The next vinyasas follow those of Bhujapidasana.
