Seated Forward Fold with Soft Knees (Paschimottanasana)

Fold torso over legs with a generous micro-bend in knees, releasing the weight of the head completely to decompress the entire posterior chain.

Key points

  • Dig into heels with bent knees to relieve lower back strain
  • Let the crown of the head hang completely heavy
  • Listen to breath and relax facial and jaw muscles

Common mistakes

Locking knees rigidly and overstretching the lumbar spine.
