Reclining Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana)
Reclining Bound Angle Pose is a hip-opening, restorative beginner posture. Reclining Bound Angle Pose, also known as “Cobblers Pose”, is great for any level of hip tightness or resistance. Reclining Bound Angle Pose is known to stimulate the inner organs including the heart, improve circulation, as well as stretch the thighs, knees and inner groin. If there is pain felt in the knees, the Yogi can put a blanket or pillow under each leg for support.
To do Reclining Bound Angle Pose, begin in Bound Angle Pose, with the soles of the feet together and knees bent. Slowly lower the back to the ground until the entire body is resting on the floor. Move the feet either in towards the groin for more of a stretch or away if the stretch is too intense. Use blankets under the knees for support. Follow this pose up with a seated twist or forward bend.
