Lean back on your hands. Feel the front of the thigh.

  2. Fold the other leg back so that foot rests beside your hip.
  3. Plant your hands behind you and lean back onto them.
  4. Press your hips gently forward.

Tips: Press the floor away rather than sinking into your shoulders. Move your hands further back to lean deeper.

Easier: Sit on a cushion to ease the bend in the folded knee. Stay more upright on your hands. Do the kneeling version instead.
