The butterfly pose is the stretching exercise you should add to your routine if you have tight hips and inner thighs, and it can even release tension in your lower back. If your interest is piqued, find out what happened when I practiced the butterfly pose every day for one week.
Butterfly, also known as Bound Angel pose or Baddha Konasana in Sanskrit (for the yogis), is a hip opener used in yoga and wider fitness circles as a static stretching exercise for the lower body. To do it, simply draw the soles of your feet together and open your knees toward the floor, allowing them to soften on either side of you.
