Yoga

Exercise Description:

Begin in a seated position with legs extended forward. Place the strap around the arches of the feet gripping on with both hands.

To keep the alignment of the spine and legs, you can insert a foam block between the knees. Don't allow the lower back, middle or upper spine to round.
