Supine Bound Angle

Lie down on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor; you may slide a bolster lengthwise under your spine to open the chest more.

Bring the soles of your feet together and let your knees fall open to the sides into a diamond shape, sliding the heels a comfortable distance from your pelvis.

Place a block or folded blanket under each outer thigh or knee so the hips can soften and release without strain on the groin or inner knees.

Rest your arms by your sides with palms facing up, soften your belly, and let gravity gently open the hips with each slow exhale.

Stay for 1 to 5 minutes of quiet breathing, then use your hands to press the knees back together before rolling to one side to come up.
