Want to master the wide-legged forward fold — the key to hip and hamstring flexibility? You're in the right place.
Perfect Wide-Legged Forward Fold Technique
The wide-legged forward fold is a foundational yoga pose that deeply stretches the hamstrings, inner thighs, and spine while promoting relaxation. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper alignment and safe progression.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Stance Setup:Stand with feet wide apart, toes pointing forward, hands on hips
- Spine Length:Inhale and lengthen spine, engaging core and maintaining straight back
- Forward Fold:Exhale and hinge at hips, slowly folding forward with straight spine
- Hand Placement:Place hands on floor, blocks, or wherever comfortable, breathe deeply
