Figure-4 Stretch
Agnistambhasana
How to
Sit with one shin stacked on top of the other, both shins roughly parallel, ankles beyond the opposite knees — a seated figure-4 shape.
Benefits
- Releases the piriformis, a common source of referred pelvic tension
- Opens the hips and outer thighs
- Improves the hip rotation that supports better pelvic floor mechanics
Practice
Fold forward gently only as far as the hips allow. Switch which shin is on top between sessions.
