'''Half bound lotus intense west stretch''' means '''Ardha''' means '''half''', '''Baddha''' (similar to bandha) means '''bound''', caught or restrained, '''padma''' means '''lotus''', '''paschima''' means '''west''', '''Uttana''' means '''intense'''.)
Forward bending with the foot in half lotus has a powerful effect on the liver and spleen. This is the purpose of forward bending with your heel pressing into your abdomen—to stimulate the liver and spleen.
==Technique==
#After taking a few breaths in Dandasana, inhale and bring the right foot bending the right knee and place the foot close to the left side of the hip joint.
#While Half Bound Lotus Forward Fold Pose, improves the flexibility of the hips and the lower back, it also keeps the spine fit and in good shape.
#Remain here for about 6 breaths, while watching the stretch at the shoulders, hips, lower back, knee and the ankles.
