The Butterfly Yoga Pose, also known as Baddha Konasana, is a seated yoga pose that helps open up the hips and groins.
How to perform
To perform the Butterfly Yoga Pose, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by sitting on the floor with your spine straight and your legs extended out in front of you.
2. Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall open to the sides.
3. Grasp your ankles or feet with your hands.
4. Sit up tall and lengthen your spine, drawing your shoulders back and down.
5. Gently press your knees towards the floor, while keeping your spine straight.
6. You can stay in this pose for several breaths, feeling a stretch in your hips and groins.
7. To deepen the stretch, you can gently flap your knees up and down like butterfly wings.
8. Remember to breathe deeply and relax in this pose.
To release the pose, slowly straighten your legs out in front of you and shake your legs to release any tension.
