Paschimottansana (seated forward fold) Start by coming into a comfortable seated position extending your legs out in front of you. Flex your feet back, which will help engage your legs. INHALE as you take your arms up and as you EXHALE hinge from your hips to fold forward. You place your hands on your shins, ankles, or toes. Note: bend your knees if you can’t reach your toes. If you want a more restorative pose, you can place a bolster or a big pillow on your legs as you fold forward.
