Wide-Legged Forward Fold

Wide-legged forward fold stretches your hips, hamstrings, and calves. But did you know it also strengthens your feet and ankles?! Here are our top tips:

1. Separate your feet wider than hip-width distance - find the distance that works best for you. The wider your stance, the deeper the stretch.

2. Press evenly through your feet rather than rolling onto the sides (this is where I personally struggle the most!)

3. If you have tight hamstrings, bring your feet closer together and leave a slight bend in your legs. You can also place your hands directly below your shoulders on the mat. If you would like a deeper stretch, you can bring your hands to the edges of your feet, ankles, or calves and gently pull your upper body deeper into the stretch.
