Day 2: Prasarita Padottanasana D or Wide-Legged Forward Fold

Welcome to Day 2 of the #YogawithTFM 10-Day Challenge!

Today’s pose is Prasarita Padottanasana D or Wide-Legged Forward Fold.  A version of Prasarita Padottanasana is actually one of the four yoga poses that helps to relieve stress.  If you haven’t already, check out our article that highlights three other poses for stress relief.

Before you get into Wide-Legged Forward Fold, be sure to warm up.

Check out the video below for variations and keep in mind these three tips:

– Feet should be parallel to one another.  Press into the outside edges of the feet so the arches of your feet do not collapse.

– Find length in your spine as you fold forward.

– Shift your weight slightly towards your toes so your hips come in line with your feet.
