Which pose involves bringing the soles of the feet together and letting the knees splay out wide?

• A. Seated Forward Fold
• B. Bridge Pose
• C. Supta Baddha Konasana
• D. Camel Pose

Answer: (C)

This question tests recognizing a reclining hip opener where the soles of the feet touch and the knees drop wide. In Supta Baddha Konasana, you lie on your back, press the soles of the feet together, and let the knees fall open to the sides. This position lengthens the inner thighs and opens the hips, often with the pelvis supported by props for comfort, making it a gentle, relaxing stretch. Seated Forward Fold has the legs extended and the torso reaching toward the feet, which doesn’t involve the feet pressed together or the knees opening to the sides. Bridge Pose is a backbend done with the feet flat on the mat and the knees bent, lifting the hips, not the soles pressed together. Camel Pose is kneeling and opening through the chest, again not about the feet touching.
