Resting position

Common resting positions of the body include kneeling, leaning, lying, sitting, and squatting.

Ballet incorporates several resting poses, including a neutral pose described by Cesare Negri and Jacob de Gheyn II with the feet at 45 degrees, back strait, and chin erect.

[2] Neoclassical ballet includes a rest or "preparatory" position called "B plus" (possibly named for George Balanchine), also called attitude a terre, in which the standing leg is straight, and the back leg curved with the toe pointed.

[4][5] Some forms of yoga incorporate the Shavasana or "Corpse Pose", a rest position used for wakeful relaxation and meditation, often at the end of a session.

[8] In touch typing, the home row is a rest position for the hands, placing all the standard keys within easy reach.
