How to practice
Tuck your toes and ease your hips back toward your heels. Keep your hands on the floor and most of your weight forward. Use a small stretch, coming out immediately if a toe joint hurts.
Benefits
Gently stretches the soles of the feet and toes while practicing awareness of pressure through the forefoot.
Who should avoid or modify
- Keep some weight in the hands and hold briefly at first. Avoid forcing bent toes under body weight, especially with toe arthritis, foot injury, or reduced sensation.
