Soaking it all in! What a yummy place to be.
Pashimottanasana is a forward folding yoga pose. Calming and soothing.
Keep your low back long as you fold and begin to fold inward by releasing your heart space towards your legs way before your head.
At the very end of this forward fold the entire spine can round, but not until then.
Many peeps like to round out in the low back right away and then lead with their head to fold. That can put unnecessary strain on the low back. Let me break down a few steps so you can really get the most out of this yoga pose.
