Preparation
This pose helps in improving the flexibility in the groin and hips region, relieving the inner thigh muscles tension, removing tiredness from long hours of walking or standing and preparing the legs for other meditative postures. Let's look at the steps: Sit down on the floor with the legs outstretched, feet together. This is the starting position.
Method
Step 1
Inhale, bend your legs and separate the knees so they are close to the ground
Step 2
Pull in your feet and place the soles of the feet together, as close as possible to your pelvis, Let the knees fall out to the sides
Step 3
Bounce the knees up and down gently (like a butterfly flapping its wings)
Step 4
Breathe normally and keep bouncing the knees for duration of 5 breaths
Step 5
Release the legs and go back to the starting position
Step 6
Precautions: People with sciatica or knee problems should not practice this pose.
