Seated Three Limbed Forward Bend

Seated Three Limbed Forward Bend

STEPS : Begin in a seated position. Lean-to one side, bend your opposite knee to roll your calf out, and place your leg in Hero pose with your heel close to your hip. Engage your opposite kneecap, press your thigh down, and keep your legs touching. If your pelvis tilts to the side, place a blanket under your glute to distribute the weight of your hips evenly. Raise your arms up, and hinge forward. Catch the foot of your extended leg and lift your chest to create a concave back. If you are unable to reach your foot, use a strap. Keep your weight on the bent knee. Bring your chest close to your legs.
