From Wide-Legged Forward Bend, come to sit on your mat with both legs together. Place your palms flat on the floor beside your hips, actively pressing them into the ground.
Keep both arms as straight as possible, and lengthen your spine, imagining it is a sturdy staff or cane someone would use to walk with. Roll your shoulders away from your ears, and tuck your chin. Engage your leg muscles, and flex your feet.
Stay here for five deep breaths.
Hold here, or to deepen the stretch in the hamstrings, fold forward as much as you can with both legs straight, walking the hands out. Hold for another five breaths, then sit up.
