The leg position of Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana) on the knees is a structured yoga variation focused on hip opening, knee alignment, and pelvic stability. This posture emphasizes controlled stacking or near-stacking of the knees through proper hip rotation rather than direct pressure on the joints. It is commonly used in yoga practice, mobility training, and therapeutic movement to improve flexibility in the hips, strengthen stabilizing muscles, and enhance overall lower-body awareness.
