Hey friends! Today, let’s take a moment to stretch and unwind with the Full Straddle Forward Fold. This pose is fantastic for releasing tension in the hamstrings, back, and hips, making it perfect for anyone looking to relax after a long day.

To get started, find a comfy spot on the floor. Sit with your legs extended wide apart, ensuring your feet are flexed. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, gently lean forward, reaching toward your toes. Remember to keep your back flat and avoid rounding your spine. If you can’t reach your toes right away, that’s totally okay! Just go as far as you can comfortably.

As you hold the pose, focus on your breath. Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, sink a little deeper into the stretch. This is a beautiful way to connect your body and mind, so enjoy the moment.
