1 - Sit on the floor with your legs extended wide apart, forming a V-shape. Keep your spine tall and your toes pointing upward toward the ceiling.
2 - Flex your feet and press the backs of your legs firmly into the ground. Place your hands on the floor in front of you between your legs.
3 - Inhale deeply to lengthen your spine, drawing the crown of your head upward and engaging your core lightly.
4 - On an exhale, slowly hinge forward from your hips, walking your hands out along the floor between your legs. Keep your back as flat as possible rather than rounding through the spine.
5 - Lower your torso as far as your flexibility allows, aiming to bring your chest toward the floor. You may rest your forearms on the floor or hold your feet or ankles for a deeper stretch.
6 - Hold the position for the desired duration, breathing deeply and relaxing further into the stretch with each exhale.
7 - To exit, inhale and slowly walk your hands back in, using your core to lift your torso upright.
