Standing Forward Bend Clasped Elbows From Down Dog, walk the feet to the hands so they are hips-width distance apart. Slowly straighten the legs, keeping the head below the heart. Keep the legs relaxed, bending the knees slightly if you need to. Bend the arms, and take hold of opposite elbows. Keep your weight pressing forward in the toes as you enjoy this stretch for the lower back and hamstrings for the last 30 seconds. The slowly stand up and you're ready for your workout!
