The Standing Half-Forward Bend
Note:
The standing half-forward bend focuses on strengthening your back to improve your posture while simultaneously stretching the front of your body. Those who have a neck injury can perform this pose, but they should avoid raising their head to gaze forward.
Pose Instruction
- Begin in a standing forward bend and rest the tips of your fingers on the ground next to your feet. Breathe in, straighten your elbows and curve your body away from your thighs. Try to create as much space between your belly button and your pubis as you can.
- Push into the ground with the tips of your fingers and raise the top of your chest up and forward from the ground. You can slightly bend your knees if needed.
- Gaze forward without tightly crunching the back of your neck. Take a few breaths while in this position, then breathe out and return to the standing forward bend.
