Similar to the table pose exercise, start with legs apart. Place your hands on your hamstring and use them to pull yourself into the stretch, while also pulling your back into a straighter position.
As you fold over, slide along with your hands until you reach your ankles. Grab them and pull yourself deeper into a standing forward fold. Hold for a pause before you go back up.
Goal is to elongate the spine and keep legs straight.
Start in a long sitting position with legs together. Flex your feet.
Elongate your spine, reach with your arms up overhead and then forward to grab your feet, and pull yourself into the spine. Try to get tummy to knees while constantly trying to lengthen the spine more.
Start in a seated straddle position with legs shoulder width apart. Keep your back long. Flex feet and reach out to grab them with your hands. Using a pulling motion try to deepen the stretch. Think tummy to floor & long back.
Do: 1x one each side x 1min
Start in a seated straddle position. Keep your back nice and long.

Start in a long sitting position. Flex the foot of the leg you are about to lift and grab it. Keep it straight and pull it towards your face and hold!

Do: 2x1
Start on lying on your bag. Lift legs up, keep them straight & knees together. Grad your ankles and pull your feet towards you face - try to keep your bottom on the floor.
Start sitting with feet together. The distance between crotch and your heels is the same as the distance between your knuckles and elbow, making it easy to measure with your arm as you set up.
Pull on your ankles to elongate the spine and pull yourself deeper into it.
Use elbows for support. Get as deep as you can and try to relax. Don't force anything. If you can extend arms in front of you.
Do: 1 x 40sec
Use a wall, sofa or any other wall-like structure.
Slide into your middle splits and try to get as close to the wall and the floor. This will help cleaning up the lines. Use your elbows for support and to keep hip in a good position.
Don't force anything and try to relax.
