Standing forward fold

Where you'll feel it

How to do it

1. Stand with the feet hip-width, knees soft.
2. Hinge at the hips and fold forward, letting the arms and head hang.
3. Breathe slowly and let the fold deepen a little on each breath out.
4. Roll up slowly to stand.

Common mistakes

• Locking the knees — keep them soft.
• Bouncing to reach further — hold still.
• Standing up fast — roll up slowly to avoid light-headedness.
