Butterfly Stretch
The Butterfly Pose, also known as Baddha Konasana, is a seated yoga posture that targets the inner thighs, groins, and hips. This stretch helps improve hip mobility, opens up the hips, and can alleviate tension in the groin area.
Starting position
- Sit on the floor with your back straight and the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall out to the sides.
- Keep your spine elongated and shoulders relaxed.
Motion
- Inhale deeply, lengthening your spine.
- Exhale slowly as you gently press your knees towards the ground, feeling a stretch in your inner thighs and groins.
- Hold the position, breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
- To come out of the pose, inhale and lift your knees back up, returning to the starting position.
