Half Butterfly Pose
![]() The inside heal should be pressed against the outer leg: the outer leg is stretch out as wide as possible for a groin stretch. The spine is stretch and tall. | ![]() Students can fold forward stretching their arms out in front of them. | ![]() Blocks under the hands allows the forward stretch to be supported. |
|---|---|---|
![]() A block can be placed under the bent knee to support the groin opener. A block ca be placed under the head as the student folds forward: this allows the fold to be comfort and supported. | ![]() Students can also twist in this pose, reaching towards their toes. A bolster placed long ways on the leg and rested on brings comfort and support. | ![]() If the bolster is too low, a block can help support the head in this twisting fold variation. |
![]() You can also do this pose on your back using a strap or as pictured, up against the wall! The wall provides support as gravity allows the outstretched leg to open deeply. | ![]() Tip: To get your legs against the wall (this may be difficult for some people) press your hip as right up against the side of the wall, lay on your back and flip your legs up! |
