How to Do a Bound Angle Yoga Pose

GINA KENNEDY: Baddha Konasana-bound angle, also known as "cobbler," or "butterfly pose," is a great way to relief stiffness in the groin, hips and hamstrings. And Faith is going to demonstrate that for us right now. So, we're going to ask Faith to press her feet together. Good. So, notice how Faith's knees are up higher than her hips. So what we want to do--our goal in this is to get our knees down to the ground. So, I'm going to place blocks under Faith's knees which is going to allow her to use the leverage of the block, and it's basically raising the floor up, so she can press her knees down and press her feet together, and extend her knees out to either sides of the room, and get a little more opening in here through her inner thighs. Notice how her back is nice and long. We want to make sure that you don't round through your spine, and that would not be good so we're going to lift up and lengthen. We always want to root the tail bone down, reach up through the crown of the head. Good. And that's going to allow her to open her thighs even more and press her knees down into the blocks even more so that she can come into a deeper butterfly pose.
