Exercise Description:
Yoga: Reclining bound angle posture

Classification:
Yoga

Instruction:
You'll need both blocks and strap with this posture. Begin by sitting on the floor with legs extended. Bend the knees and join the soles of the feet together. Guide the heels towards the groin. Loop the strap around the waist and underneath the feet placing the buckle to the side. The strap now should be resting on the lower back and the outside of the feet. Gently tighten the strap until you feel soft pressure on the inner thighs and the lower back. Now position the blocks under each knee. Place the elbows on the floor and lower the spine, head and arms to the floor. Stretch the arms to the side, palms facing towards the sky. Notice the shoulders are away from the ears and the chin is gently tucked in. Feel the openness of the pelvis and groin while the knees fall away to the side. Keep the soles of the feet together and allow the gravity to gently pull the knees down either towards the bricks or if you are more flexible remove the bricks and allow the knees to gently fall towards the floor. For more support, place a thick blanket lengthwise underneath the spine and a pillow on top of the blanket to go underneath the head. This is a beautiful position to relax in for Savansana/relation at the end of your practice. Stay here for 10 to 20 deep breaths.
