Baddha Konasana (Sanskrit: बद्धकोणासन; IAST: baddhakoṇāsana), Bound Angle Pose,[1] Butterfly Pose,[2] or Cobbler's Pose (after the typical sitting position of Indian cobblers when they work),[3] and historically called Bhadrasana,[4] Throne Pose,[4] is a seated asana in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise. If the knees rest on the floor, it is suitable as a meditation seat.[4]
