Forward Fold: Getting Deeper
Forward fold is one of my test poses. That is, every time I practice, I test if I still have the same range of motion. I didn’t start off being able to touch my forehead to my shins, but eventually, I got there. However, every time I attempt it, I have to work my way to my capacity. I start off with knees bent, belly to thighs, and I straighten the legs a few times. I don’t always get there especially when I practice in the morning. You can have the hands grab the ankles to help the fold, or hands on the floor, fingers in line with the toes. This pose feels like I’m going to fall forward, but I don’t. That makes me happy.
