Bound Angle Pose

Description

Sit on the floor, bring the soles of your feet together, and let your knees open out to the sides. Place your hands around your feet or ankles, then lengthen your spine by sitting up tall, with your shoulders down and away from your ears. Hold this position while breathing calmly, gradually letting your hips open without forcing your knees. To mobilize your hips further, move your knees up and down “like butterfly wings,” in a smooth and controlled manner.
