The Crab is the name given to an unorthodox posture sometimes seen in basic gymnastics, yoga, and breakdancing. The body is supinated so that the back faces the ground, the legs are bent like sitting in a chair, and the arms extend straight backward. Only the feet and hands touch the ground, and the torso is held parallel with the ground.
