HEAD-TO-KNEE FORWARD BEND

Janu sirsasana

This calming pose helps relieve mild depression and anxiety, while stretching the spine, shoulders, hamstrings and groin. It stimulates the liver and kidneys, improves digestion and relieves fatigue, headaches and insomnia.

Start in a seated, cross-legged position. Stretch your left leg out straight in front of you at a slight angle.

Draw the sole of your right foot in towards your left inner thigh, as close to your groin as possible.

Reach your arms up above your head and look up, before reaching forward towards your left shin, ankle or foot.

As you reach, keep your spine straight and chin lifted for as long as possible, without rounding your spine. Allow your hands to rest wherever they land on your left leg or foot and bow your head.

Relax here and feel the benefits.
