Supta Baddha Konasana

Come to a sitting position on the floor and bring the soles of the feet together, allowing the bent knees to fall away to the sides. Lean back on your forearms, keeping the heels as close to the buttocks as possible. On an in-breath, roll the shoulders back and down, allowing the chest and entire front of the torso to open. On exhalation, release the shoulders. Repeat 4 times.

 

This is a great posture for relieving pre-menstrual and menstrual pains and tightness and for bringing energy into the reproductive organs.
