Instructions

In this video, I practice Cobbler's Pose (Baddha Konasana), a classic yoga pose that helps to open the hips, stretch the inner thighs, and improve posture. Whether you're working on flexibility or simply looking for a relaxing stretch, this pose is a must-try!

This pose is perfect for all levels and can be modified with props like blocks or cushions for extra support. Practice regularly to enhance hip flexibility and feel the tension melt away!

• Opens up the hips and groin.
• Stretches the inner thighs and knees.
• Helps improve posture and spinal alignment.
• Promotes relaxation and reduces tension in the lower body.
• Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you.
• Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together, letting your knees fall outward.
• Pull your heels as close to your pelvis as is comfortable.
• Sit up tall, lengthening your spine, and hold the pose for several breaths.
• For a deeper stretch, gently press your knees toward the floor with your elbows.
