How to practice

Rest on your back with the soles of your feet together. Let the knees feel fully supported.

Benefits

Allows the inner thighs and hips to relax into a gentle stretch while the torso is supported.

Who should avoid or modify

  • Support both thighs with cushions instead of letting the knees hang. Use an inclined or side-lying alternative if flat lying causes discomfort, especially during pregnancy.
