Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle pose) is a wonderful yoga pose that can be easily integrated into any style of yoga class. Bound Angle pose offers an array of therapeutic benefits including:
*stretches and expands adductor (inner thigh), groin and knee muscles
*stretches lower back and upper gluteal muscles (in forward bend variation)
*massages abdominal organs and improves digestive circulation
*helps reduce menstrual symptoms and discomfort
*therapeutic for sciatica
*aids in relieving fatigue, anxiety, and mild depression
*beneficial pose during pregnancy to help ease the process of childbirth
