The Butterfly
Why this one

We finish by opening the inner thighs and pelvic floor — a soft, grounding close.

How to do it

Bring the soles of your feet together, knees dropping open. Hold your ankles and lean gently forward, only as far as feels good.

Keep in mind

Let the knees fall open with gravity; breathe into the hips. Easy, never forced.

Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
