How to do the Seated Forward Fold in a Chair

1. Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor and knees hip-width apart.
2. Lengthen your spine, then hinge forward from your hips, sliding your hands down your shins.
3. Let your chest rest toward your thighs and your arms and head hang heavy toward the floor.
4. Breathe slowly, then roll up one vertebra at a time with your head coming up last.

Tips

• Keep your neck relaxed and let gravity do the work.

Adjustments

• Rest your forearms on your thighs if folding all the way down feels like too much.
