Ardha baddha padmottanasana is a classic combination of half lotus pose (ardha padmottanasana) and standing forward bend pose (uttanasana). The name comes from the Sanskrit ardha, meaning “half,” baddha, meaning “bound,” padma, meaning “lotus,” uttana, meaning “intense stretch,” and asana, meaning “pose” or “posture.”
