2. Baddha Konasana, or posture of the butterfly
This position stimulates the inner organs of the abdominal area, enhances circulation in the pelvic region, and opens the hips and torso. It also stretches areas of the body that typically remain “closed,” such as the groin, adductors, and lower abdomen.
To practice, bring your toes inward, connecting the soles of your feet. Lower your knees as far as possible without leaning back, and hold the position for 7 to 10 breaths.
