Wide-Leg Forward Fold

Wide stance, fold forward, crown of the head reaches toward the floor. Adductors and hamstrings.

The lesson

  1. 01

    Feet a leg's length apart, toes forward

    Straight forward, not turned in or out. That's what puts the stretch into your inner thighs.

  2. 02

    Inhale tall, exhale and hinge

    Hands to your hips, lengthen, then fold from the hips with the crown of your head lowering toward the floor.

  3. 03

    Shift your weight forward

    Get your hips stacked over your ankles. Sit back and your hamstrings never load at all.

  4. 04

    Hands wherever the spine stays long

    On the floor between your feet, on your shins, or holding opposite elbows for more weight. Soft knees, heavy head.
