How to do the Wide-Legged Forward Fold

1. Stand with feet wide and toes pointing forward.
2. Hinge at your hips to fold forward, lowering your torso toward your legs.
3. Relax your head, neck, and arms, aiming to place your palms on the floor.

Tips

• Lengthen through your spine as you fold.
• Keep legs straight but avoid locking your knees.
• Hold ankles and draw your head closer if you want more stretch.

Adjustments

• Rest hands on shins or blocks if the floor feels far away.
