#2 Seated Forward Bend Pose - Paschimottanasana
A variation of the standing forward bend pose, the seated forward bend pose works on the lower back with increased accuracy.
Instructions:
Step 1: Sit on the floor with a straight back and extend your legs fully forward. Ensure that you keep your feet close to each other throughout the duration of the exercise.
Step 2: Bend forward without lifting your glutes off the floor. Continue this motion until you touch your feet with the hands. You could bend your knees if you are facing any difficulties while bending forward.
Step 3: Hold the contraction for 30 seconds and return to the initial position.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.
Important tip: You could also perform this exercise while using only a single leg for a simpler movement.
