Butterfly Yoga Pose
Muscles involved
Executing the Butterfly Yoga Pose gives you complete confidence that you are improving your mobility without straining your joints. Performing this stretch using only your bodyweight allows you to experience a rewarding release as your adductor and brachialis relax and lengthen naturally. A great set is not measured by heavy loads or intense exertion, but by smooth breathing and the feeling of openness you gain as tension fades away. You build true trust in your technique as you notice tightness melting from your hips, leaving you with a wonderful sense of physical balance, flexibility, and recovery by the time you complete the posture.
How to do it
1. Sit with your back straight and join the soles of your feet together. 2. Gently let your knees fall to the sides without forcing. 3. Lean a bit forward to deepen the stretch. 4. Hold the posture, breathing relaxed, before returning.
