How to practice
Ground both feet and keep your front knee pointing with your toes. Leave the hands on your hips and make a small forward hinge. Widen your stance if you need more balance.
Benefits
Combines leg endurance with a shoulder stretch and a forward fold inside the front leg.
Who should avoid or modify
- Use a wider stance and keep the shoulder clasp gentle. Do not press the torso against the knee; come up slowly if dizzy.
