Butterfly Pose Forward
Expert Advice
Focus on hinging from the hips to fold forward, rather than rounding the back, to deepen the stretch in the hips and hamstrings.
How-to-do Steps
- Sit on the floor with your spine straight and legs in front of you.
- Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall out to the sides.
- Grasp your feet or ankles and inhale to lengthen your spine.
- Exhale as you hinge at the hips to fold forward, leading with your chest.
- Hold the stretch for several breaths, then release and sit back up.
