Seated Straddle Sit on the floor with about three or four feet between your heels. Inhale to lengthen your spine, and on an exhale, slowly fold forward as far as you can with a flat back, making sure your toes and knees are pointing straight up. Keep your spine long and avoid hunching. Rest your hands on your feet, your legs, or the floor in front of you. As you feel your body opening up, work on lowering your chest toward the ground. Hold for 30 seconds, and then sit up. Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Louisa Larson
