Ground your energy and stretch your inner thighs with this stable forward fold that promotes introspection and leg flexibility.
Perfect Wide-Legged Forward Fold Technique
Wide-Legged Forward Fold (Prasarita Padottanasana) is a grounding pose that stretches the inner thighs and hamstrings while providing mild inversion benefits. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper leg positioning and safe spine alignment for optimal stretching.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Leg Setup:Stand with feet wide apart, toes parallel and outer edges parallel
- Hip Hinge:Place hands on hips, exhale and hinge forward from hips
- Hand Placement:Place fingertips or palms on floor between feet
- Spine Length:Keep crown of head reaching toward floor
- Weight Distribution:Keep weight evenly distributed on both feet
- Breath Focus:Breathe deeply, allowing fold to deepen naturally
Common Mistakes to Avoid
