A forward fold, or bend, can be done seated or standing. Simply take a nice big inhale and as you exhale bend forward at the hips to lengthen the front of your torso. Let your head hang. If you're standing, you can grab each elbow with the opposite hand. Standing Forward Fold — Uttanasana (ooh-tuhn-AHS-uh-nuh) Paschimottanasana (PAH-shee-moh-tun-AHS-uh-nuh) This pose helps to relieve stress and prepares your body for other poses by loosening tight muscles.
