Partner Yoga Pose: Back-to-Back Butterfly Butterfly pose is one of my favorite hip openers, and there are many Partner Yoga moves that involve this pose. There's the Butterfly Pull, Butterfly Supported Forward Bend, and Seated Butterfly Lounge is great way to stretch. If you have tight hips then you will appreciate trying Back-to-Back Butterfly with a partner since this variation deepens the stretch and it is only slightly hands-on compared to a couple of other partner poses. To give it a try .
  • Partner #1 and Partner #2 sit with their backs touching and their legs out in front of them.
