Reclined Bound Angle Pose

Supta Baddhakonāsana is comprised of "Supta" (supine, lying down) and "Baddhakonāsana" (Bound Angle Pose). It is a pose where you lie on your back with the soles of your feet together and knees opened out to the sides, deeply relaxing the hip joints.

This pose releases tension in the hip joints and gently stretches the adductor muscles. It is believed to promote blood circulation around the pelvis and aid lymphatic flow in the groin area. It fosters mental relaxation and deep rest.

Lie on your back, bring soles of feet together, open knees out to the sides, and draw heels towards the pelvis. Arms can rest alongside the body or extend overhead. Props like blocks or cushions under the knees can be used to prevent strain on hips or knees.
