Perfect Bound Angle Pose Technique
Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana), also known as Butterfly Pose, is a fundamental hip opener that stretches the inner thighs and groins while promoting introspection. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper spinal alignment and safe progression for optimal hip mobility.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position:Sit with legs extended, then bend knees and bring soles of feet together
- Foot Position:Hold feet or ankles, drawing heels toward pelvis comfortably
- Spine Alignment:Sit tall with crown reaching up, shoulders relaxed
- Hip Opening:Gently press knees toward floor without forcing
- Forward Fold (Optional):Hinge forward from hips, keeping spine long
- Breath Focus:Breathe deeply, allowing hips to gradually open
