Bound Angle Pose B

Baddha Konasana B

Bound Angle Pose B folds the torso forward over the joined feet, bringing the forehead toward the floor. The forward fold intensifies the stretch across the inner thighs and adds a gentle release for the spine. Keeping the feet drawn in and the back long lets the fold come from the hips.

Alignment cues

• Keep the soles together and heels close to the pelvis
• Hinge forward from the hips, chest leading
• Lengthen the front body toward the feet, not the crown down

Benefits

• Deepens the hip and groin stretch
• Lengthens the spine in forward fold
• Improves flexibility in the inner thighs

Modifications

• Sit on a folded blanket to ease into the fold
• Keep the spine long rather than rounding forward
