The well-known fact that yoga is not just perfect stretching, but also a system of health-improving exercises. The butterfly posture is yet another proof of this fact, so it will give us pleasure not only with its aesthetic name, but also with subsequent effects. Let's start with the butterfly posture in yoga.
Benefit
Asana very well develops the hip joints, strengthens blood circulation in pelvic organs, which is especially useful for women with sedentary work. If we move away from the theme of physiology, the stagnation of blood in a small pelvis leads to the appearance of complexes, stiffness, a loss of faith in one's own strength.
In addition, constant yoga and, including, the butterfly pose, promote the activation of the kidneys, the genitourinary system, and the prevention of radiculitis, hernia and varicose veins. This asana will facilitate childbirth (by the way, it is indicated in pregnancy), as it strengthens the uterus and bladder.
Special indications for the use of butterfly asanas are all kinds of "female" diseases: ovarian dysfunction, PMS, varicose veins, and the like.
Technique of execution
Sit down on the buttocks, feet are connected, knees in the sides. You can shake a bit to find the most comfortable position. Straightening the shoulders, stretching the crown of the head to the sky, hands pressing ourselves to the feet. So, we stretched our head up and carry out 21 "swings" with butterfly wings, or, with our knees. Then gently slope to the left thigh, lowering the left hand on the inner surface of the thigh, and transferring the weight of the body to the left. With your right palm push the right knee to the right. We repeat to the second leg. Then we return to the center, we pull the top up and maximally lower both knees to the floor.
Gently get out of the situation, knitting together.
Features of the implementation
Firstly, if you are very uncomfortable to perform a butterfly, and you have weak knees or an injured groin area that has not recovered from injury, place a support under the thighs - a roller, plaid or a towel.
In addition, such a support will also be a relief for people with poorly developed stretching. For simplicity, you can sit with your back to the wall (if it is difficult for you to maintain your posture ), and hands do not take for the feet, but for the ankles.
In the opposite case, if everything is in order with the banner, you can complicate the asana - with the palms of your hands to unfold the soles of the sole to the top, connecting them only with the inside. The body can be tilted by lowering the forehead first, then the chin.
