Happy Hips

badhakonasanaIf you've been sitting for too long, a hip opener is exactly what your body is craving. Try Badhakonasana, or as we called it in dance class when we were 8, the good ol' Butterfly Pose. This one will target your inner thighs, groin, and knees - all of which we tend to let rest and harbor tension for hours at a time at our desks. It's equally as effective for when we work our legs a little harder with extra walking or running. Bonus benefits include the relief of menstrual cramps and symptoms of menopause.
