Notes

This restful variation of baddha konasana puts the spine in neutral alignment or very mild
extension to gently open up the breathing. It is a very commonly used restorative posture.
With the use of props such as bolsters, blankets, straps, and cushions, it can be modified
in a wide variety of ways.
