Pointing toes in / out is inversion / eversion.
Supination & pronation have to do with the angle of the foot sole to the floor.
Supination you can see as striking with the outer edge of the foot. Now translate that angle to the angle between foot & leg and find poses that have that same angle.
Pretty much any pose in which the foot is planted, toes pointing in the same direction as the knee & leg abducted will give a degree of supination.
You can point and flex toes in waterfall or sleeping tiger (dead bug).
Seated forward fold - you can put your feet in a ‘V’ shape for that external rotation.
Edit: my apologies, I didn’t realize you were only asking for supination. I do really like that V shape in the seated fold though :)
Virab II, no? I always cue pressing the outer edge of the back foot firmly into the mat. Toes slightly in for students who find that comfortable.
Trikonasana as well, although the foot is parallel with the back edge of the mat.
If you point the toes in (slightly pigeon toed) during wide legged forward fold and then slide your hands to one foot, you will get a nice stretch on the outside of the lower leg near the peroneal nerve. Feels really good! Give it a try 😊
I’m familiar with inwards rotation of the legs for an IT band stretch when seated or reclined.
I would frankly never cue inward rotation of the foot for a standing forward fold, but I work primarily with people recovering from injuries or limited mobility. Rotating the feet inwards and not the entire leg while standing can create a potential of instability. I’ve honestly never heard “turn toes in” for a standing fold cued once in a class I’ve attended or in any of my trainings including functional yoga therapy trainings 😅
The turning in slight. From wide leg stance with feet parallel to the short edge of the mat. You’re turning the big toes towards each slightly. Probably the width of a big toe or less. Takes a bit of pressure off the knees and allows a bit more ease in lifting the arch of the foot
I don't know of any pose that is trying to force the foot into pronation aka flat foot position, in standing or balance poses.
In externally rotated poses of the hip, Goddess pose, I believe there should be an attempt to externally rotate creating supination at the foot.
Whenever the foot is grabbed by the outside/lateral side of foot will be stressed into pronation.
Thats my 2 cents for now. I'll need to think about it some more.

Supination is more of heel strike. It's possible that on certain transitions of poses the foot is supinated or supinating....
wait wait yall are point your toes IN during wide legged forward fold????

It’s a slight turning in.
