Konasana is unique in sense that all men, women and children can easily practice it, and can get their body posture fit and fine. Konasana is derived from Sanskrit word baddha and kona, kona means pose or angle, and baddha means bent or bound, so it gives the posture like cobbler or butterfly.

The basic technique to do Konasana is to stand straight and legs together, hands must be at both sides of thighs. Now open legs about two to half feet distance and raise both hands in forward direction, so it gets parallel to shoulders. Now bend legs to the right side, and bring slowly right hand downwards and left hand in upward direction. Now bring right hand towards the right ankle, smooth and gently.

Distance between legs should be same and will be continued each time. Do this technique repeatedly, by bringing left and right side and vice versa.
