How to practice
Stand wide, soften your knees, and fold from your hips. Keep the fold shallow and let your neck follow the line of your back.
Benefits
Stretches the inner thighs and hamstrings while developing a controlled forward hinge from a wide stance.
Who should avoid or modify
- Use blocks or a chair and keep the knees soft. Do not force the head to the floor or pull harder with a hand grip; come up slowly if dizzy.
