A 360º overview of…Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana) With Dr Kiki Morriss
Open yourself up with this classic hip-opening asana
As well as improving the flexibility of your hips, it will stretch your groin and inner thighs, whilst encouraging a strong back and abdomen. Baddha Konasana has a grounding, calming effect that will allow your mind to become quiet and focused. When you are comfortable in the position, it can be used as a pose for meditation. Breathe evenly as you set a positive intention (sankalpa) for the year ahead.
The benefits of this pose:
•Butterfly pose improves the flexibility of your hips and prepares the body for other hip-opening poses, such as pigeon.
•The asana stretches your groin and inner thigh muscles.
