4. Pose of the shoemaker (Badha Konasana)
The seated asana, often referred to as the shoemaker’s pose is a posture that allows you to stretch your inner thighs. The first times, the exercise can be performed while sitting on a blanket or a block, which will allow the knees, since the hips are slightly higher than when sitting on the mat, to open as naturally as possible.
Keeping your knees high is much more difficult than it might seem, but you can’t strain your legs while doing this. The correct technique implies that they are completely relaxed. To improve the beneficial effect of this movement, something is placed under the knees.
