5 minLevel 1Poses

Lauren breaks down Forward Fold with Big Toe Hook (Padangusthasana) Level 1 Padangusthasana means hand to toe pose. It's a mild inversion so it increases blood to the brain. It stretches the hamstrings and lengthens the entire spine, while messaging the digestive organs. It's said to help sciatica. *Modification: Bend the knees as deep as necessary. This will help if you have tight hamstrings or sensitivity in your lower back. You may also place blocks under your hands. Follow Lauren as she guides you step by step to this deepening forward fold
