Supta Baddha Konasana
Reclined Cobbler's

Picture
Benefits:
Physical:
  • Opens hips, inner thighs, grains & chest
  • Good for menstrual cramps
  • Helps relieve the symptoms of menopause
  • Stimulates the ovaries, bladder and kidneys
 
Emotional:
  • Relieves tension
 
Cautions:
  • Supta Baddha Konasana actively rotates the thigh outward, tightening the deep hip rotators, making it unsuitable to practice when suffering from Sciatica.
 
Method:
1. Lie on your back, legs and arms straight, palms up.
2. Bend left knee and place foot on floor, then do the same with right knee and foot.
3. Lower knees away from each other toward floor, bring soles of feet together, sweep arms along floor until they’re overhead.
4. Hold for 5 to 10 breaths.
5. Bring knees upright, sweep arms back down toward sides of the body.
 
Props:
  • If there is a groin injury or too much tension on the thighs or groin, prop the knees up evenly with bolsters, blankets or blocks.
  • A highly restorative pose especially if laying the spine back along a bolster
