How to practice
Ground both feet and lengthen your spine into the wide fold. Keep your knees soft and your head relaxed without trying to fold deeply.
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.
