Forward Fold

Uttanasana. On my mind today to help with my tight low back.

• Start in mountain pose with feet hip-width distance apart and parallel

• Reach arms out and over head

• Exhale and hinge forward at the hips, bringing hands through heart-center towards the toes

• Bring chest towards thighs

• Release head towards the earth

• Soften the neck and relax the face

• Let the weight of the upper body hang heavy

• Hands can be on the ground or at the big toes

• Breathe

• Stay for as long as feels good

  
  

• To come out, soften the knees and slowly rise, noticing the strength of the lower body. It feels good to reach the arms out and up and back to heart-center
