Exercise Description:
Yoga: Standing wide leg forward fold

Instruction:
Place the feet wide apart, big toes facing in, heels facing out, place the hands on the floor with a straight spine. Tuck the chin in to gently lengthen the cervical vertebrae. Lift the sigmoid up towards the sky and gently push down through all four corners of the feet. Maintain a neutral and straight spine. Pull the navel towards the spine to contract the abdominals and lift the pelvic floor muscles. Keep the legs straight and the kneecaps lifted to contract the quadricep muscles. Maintain this posture for 5 to 10 deep breaths.
