How to do the Rag Doll Pose

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart and knees softly bent.
2. Inhale to reach arms overhead and lengthen your spine.
3. Exhale to hinge at the hips, letting your torso drape forward.
4. Grab opposite elbows and allow head and arms to hang heavy.

Tips

• Distribute weight evenly between heels and balls of the feet.
• Focus on lengthening your spine instead of trying to touch the floor.

Adjustments

• Bend your knees more deeply if your back feels tight.
• Rest elbows on a block or chair for extra support.
