So much sitting in modern life! Below you know it, those hours in a chair can weaken and shorten the long muscles of the inner thighs and the deep muscles of the inner pelvis. Without focused attention, the inner thighs can easily become tight, rigid and painful when we try to stretch them, and can even refer imbalance and pain to other areas of the pelvis and the low back. What to do? Butterfly pose (baddha konasana) to the rescue! Choose the variation that works for you in this tutorial.
