To create mobility in the back and the hips, we're going have Emily do a nice straddle stretch forward fold. Emily, opening up the legs. Let them come out to the sides. First, I want your legs to be nice and relaxed, so no flexion of the feet in the beginning. Just find what's comfortable for you. Is that good? Now, activating the legs, flexion of the feet. Pressing through heels. Toes to the nose. Bringing the hands in front of you, we're going to take the straddle stretch into the forward fold. Work with your breath. Take the inhale first. As you exhale, releasing from the hips and not the lower back. Release it into a forward fold. Keep the legs active the whole time. Find what's comfortable. Stretch, don’t strain. You want to feel a nice stretch on the lower back, but you don't want to feel any strain what so ever. Notice how she's working with her breath. On every exhale, she's kind of slightly releasing a little bit more into it working with that beautiful breath. She can keep the hands in front of her if she likes. She can also bring her hands to her shins, or grabbing a hold of her big toe if your practice allows it. Perfect. Next thing in a beautiful alignment with the spine and she's really lengthening through that spine. Nice job. Just take a few more breaths and enjoy the pose.
