🦋 Bound Angle Pose
Sanskrit: Baddha Koṇāsana
In this variation of Baddha Koṇāsana, the fingers are interlocked behind the back and the arms extend upward, creating a beautiful chest and shoulder opener while maintaining the grounding benefits of the pose.
✨ Benefits:
🪷 Opens the hips and inner thighs
🪷 Improves flexibility in the groin and pelvic region
🪷 Stretches the chest, shoulders, and arms
🪷 Encourages better posture by opening the front body
🪷 Promotes relaxation and mindful breathing
🪷 May help relieve tension from sitting for long periods
🌿 How to Practice:
1. Sit with the soles of your feet together and let your knees relax toward the floor.
2. Lengthen your spine and gently fold forward from the hips.
3. Interlace your fingers behind your back.
4. Straighten your arms and lift them toward the ceiling as far as comfortable, keeping the shoulders relaxed.
5. Breathe deeply, allowing each exhale to help you soften into the pose without forcing the stretch.
Open your hips.
Open your heart.
Let your breath do the rest.
