The Bound Angle
Note:
The bound angle pose (a.k.a. the cobbler’s pose) is a great hip opener and is a recommended precursor to standing poses and twists. The bound angle energizes your lower abdominal organs, your heart, and your blood circulation. For women, it can help relieve menstrual pain and menopausal symptoms. It can also reduce high blood pressure and relieve asthma symptoms. In addition to opening your hips, the bound angle can stretch your groin, knees, and inner thighs.
Pose Instruction
- Start in the staff position. Breathe out, bend your knees and pull your heels toward your torso. Grasp your feet with your hands, pressing the soles of your feet together. As your knees bend, let them fall out to either side of your body. Pull your heels as close to your pelvis as possible and flex your toes up and apart.
- You should be sitting so that your pubis and tailbone are equal distance from the ground. Lengthen the front of your chest by keeping your shoulders back and raising your breastbone. Allow your thighs to gravitate toward the ground.
- Hold this position for up to five minutes. To exit this position, breathe in, slowly bring your knees together, and return your legs to the starting position.
