Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana) :
- Inhale and lift your arms straight up over your head with your arms touching your ears.
- Exhale and bend forward from the hips as shown in the photograph, keeping your back straight as long as possible. Keep your legs straight with the weight of the body over the balls of the feet. Feel that the hips are lifting up and the body is falling away from the hips.
- If possible, put your hands flat on the floor, or wrap your fingers around the big toes. If you can't reach the floor you can also wrap your hands around the back of your legs.
- Try to bring the head in as close to the knees as possible with the neck relaxed.
- In the beginning, hold the posture for 5 seconds, gradually working up to 1 minute or more.
Supported Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana)
- First be seated in Baddha Konasana Pose,this supta-baddha-konasana pose starts with baddha konasana only so be seated.
- In order to find what props your body needs to hold the reclined version of the pose comfortably for some time lower your back and torso to the floor using your hands to support and guide you. Inhale and slide the arms up over your head and rest them on the floor extended above your head. (If this is a comfortable pose then you do not need any props. However, if it is not comfortable then props will probably prove to be beneficial. There are a number of common causes of discomfort and some standard and highly effective prop-based remedies.)
- One source of discomfort is your knees, inner thighs or groins when your leg muscles are not yet stretched to the point where the knees come all the way down to the floor.
- Another common source of discomfort is the lower back. This prop should be long enough so that when you lie down on it supports your entire upper torso including your head.
