Reclined Butterfly Relaxation
Hip release, fully relaxed
How to
Lying on your back, bring the soles of your feet together and let your knees fall open to each side, resting your arms wherever feels most relaxed.
Benefits
- Opens the hips passively, with gravity doing the work instead of active effort
- One of the most calming positions to end a stretching routine or the day
- A cushion under each knee makes it more comfortable if the hips are tight
Practice
Hold 1-3 minutes, breathing slowly and letting the knees release a little further with each exhale.
