Prasarita Padottanasana: Wide-Legged Forward Bend, variation Stand with your feet parallel, about 120cm apart (it will depend on your height), facing the long edge of your mat. Reach your arms behind your back and lightly interlace your fingers, keeping the elbows bent. On an inhale, lift your shoulders up toward your ears and as you exhale, relax your shoulders back and down, squeezing your shoulderblades towards the spine. Squeeze your fingers tightly together and straighten your elbows. If you are tight in the shoulders and across the front of your chest, holding a strap between your hands will give you a little more freedom. #yogagt by @maroehr in Puerto San Jose Guatemala
