FORWARD BEND

• Stand with your feet pointing straight and place your
  palms on your low back/upper buttocks area.
• Tilt your pelvis forward to place an exaggerated arch in
  your low back while pulling your elbows and
  shoulder blades together behind you.
• Keeping the elbows back, begin bending forward from the
  hips. Do NOT bend from your low back.
• Keep the low back arched as your bend over, stopping where
  you can maintain the arch.
• Tighten your thighs to lock your knees straight, and move
  your body weight to the balls of your feet.
• Hold this position for 1 minute.
