Standing Fold

Stand in Mountain. Stretch arms overhead. Bend knees slightly (don't straighten knees by locking them back). Fold forward from your waist. Back of neck soft. Hang loosely. Allow the spine take its time to stretch forward.

Calms the brain. Helps relieve stress. Stimulates liver and kidneys. Stretches hamstrings, calves, & hips. Strengthens thighs and knees. Improves digestion. Helps relieve symptoms of menopause. Reduces fatigue. Relieves headache and insomnia. Therapeutic for asthma, high blood pressure, infertility, osteoporosis, and sinusitis.

A) Bent knees. B) Loop fingers around big toes. C) Place upper back against wall. D) Place hands on blocks that are positioned close to your feet. E) Baby standing forward bend (bend only half way down). F) Use a chair or wall for going half way down. G) Do not use leverage in the pose to go deeper into the bend. Instead let the body be loose as a goose while bending and allow the spine take its time to stretch forward. H) Place head on a chair when in the forward bend. I) Do Gorilla pose (palms under soles of feet).
