2. Baddha Konasana, or posture of the butterfly
This pose stimulates the internal organs in the abdominal area, enhances blood flow in the pelvis, and promotes the opening of the hips and torso. It also stretches areas that are often tight, such as the groin, adductors, and lower abdomen.
To practice this pose, bring your toes inward and press the soles of your feet together. Lower your knees as close to the ground as possible without straining. Avoid leaning backward, and hold the position for 7-10 deep, steady breaths.
