Day 31 | Butterly / Bound Angle Pose 🦋
[Baddha Konasana]

Benefits of this asana:
🪬 Improves postural and body awareness
🪬 Helps to speed up recovery after running
🪬 Helpful for people who spend a lot of time sitting in chairs

Here are a few tips:
✔️ Press your heels together vs balls of your feet
✔️ If you have tight hips, place rolled-up blankets under your thighs and lower legs. This can release tension in your hips and reduce strain on your knees.
✔️ If you need help activating your hips and inner thighs, place a block between your feet and press your feet firmly into the block, turning the soles to face upward. Then place your hands on the floor behind you and press into them to lengthen your spine.
✔️ Try using a strap - Bring it behind your back, across your sacrum, over the tops of your thighs, and cinch it underneath your feet.  The strap should be tight enough to feel secure but not so restrictive that you feel compression in your hip joints.
