If you can reach your toes or place your hands by the sides of you feet, great, if you can’t, no problem, just reach down as far as possible and grasp your legs at this lowest point. In addition, bring your forehead as close to your knees as possible. You should feel a stretch all along the back of your legs, lower back and hips.
