Wide-Legged Forward Fold

Stand with your feet set wide apart, toes turned slightly in. Hinge forward from your hips and let your torso hang between your legs, hands reaching toward the floor or resting on your shins. The wide stance shifts the stretch mainly into your inner thighs and hamstrings rather than your lower back, so let your spine round and relax instead of trying to keep it flat. Bend your knees slightly if your hamstrings are pulling your hips out of position. Let your head hang heavy and shift your weight evenly across both feet rather than sinking into one side.
