Kneel on your mat with your knees hips-width distance apart, and your big toes touching behind you. Take a deep breath in and, as you exhale, lie your torso over your thighs. Try to lengthen your neck and spine by drawing your ribs away from your tailbone and the crown of your head away from your shoulders.
Rest your arms beside your legs, with palms facing up, or try extending your arms out in front of you. Hold for five minutes.
Modification: Spread a blanket wide over your yoga mat. Stack the two yoga blocks on the lowest height, horizontally at the top of the mat, then rest the bolster vertically on the block stack to create an incline. Kneel in front of the bolster, with your big toes touching and knees wide around the bolster. Sit on your heels and fold forward into the bolster, turning your head to the side.
