  yoga butterfly question

  Posted by smokinangel on April 1, 2011 at 6:05 am

  So the yoga stretch called butterfly always tells you to "open your feet like a book."  Why is that?  Trying to open them tends to make my toes hurt, is it worth the effort?

  I just got off work and it's late…. sorry for the random question but it's been bugging me all day!

  My philosophy is, if it hurts, you're either not doing it right or it's not right for you.  I can't think of too many ways to not be doing this stretch right (if I'm thinking of the same one), so just concentrate on keeping your feet together and pressing your knees down.  It will still help open your hips.  🙂
