Ardha Titli Asana: Yoga pose for improving hip flexibility

Ardha Titli Asana, or Half Butterfly Pose, may ease stiffness in the hips, thighs and lower back while supporting flexibility, digestion and relaxation. The seated pose involves bending one leg and gently moving it like a butterfly wing. Avoid forcing the movement, and skip it if you have serious or persistent knee, ankle or hip pain.
