How to do the Saddle Pose

1. Kneel with knees and feet hip-width apart, then sit down between your heels.
2. Lean back onto your forearms first, then lower your back toward the floor if it feels comfortable.
3. Rest arms overhead or alongside your body and breathe deeply.

Tips

• Keep your knees and feet in line to protect your joints.

Adjustments

• Place cushions or a bolster under your back for support if the stretch feels intense.
• Stay propped on your elbows instead of reclining fully if needed.
