## Technique
1. From a standing position, step the feet apart about hip width.
2. Hinge at the hips and loop the first two fingers and thumb around the big toe.
3. Inhale to lift the chest and lengthen the spine.
4. Exhale and lower into the fold, taking the head down last.
5. Gaze toward the tip of the nose. Take 5 breaths.
6. Inhale and lift up halfway, lengthening the spine, exhale and bring the hands to the hips.
7. Inhale the rest of the way up to standing. Exhale back to the starting position.
## Form tips
* Pull lightly on the toes as you press them down, creating an even stretch through the hamstrings.
* Bend the knees slightly if needed, but keep the legs active.
* Soften the spine and lower the head to allow a slight forward flexion in the spine, while continuing to deepen the hip crease.
