Common questions about Bound Angle Pose
What does Baddha Konasana mean?
Baddha Konasana comes from baddha (bound), kona (angle) and asana (pose) — the bound-angle pose, also called Butterfly or Cobbler's Pose.
What does Bound Angle Pose stretch?
The inner thighs, groin and hips. It's one of the most effective and accessible hip openers, and it preps the body for seated poses like Lotus.
Why won't my knees go down in Butterfly Pose?
Tight hips, not a lack of effort. Sit up on a cushion, move the feet further forward, and let the knees release over weeks — never push them down.

Three sizes: 8×12" (£19.99), 16×24" (£25.99) and 24×36" (£39.99). Every print ships unframed. Free UK shipping over £60.
