Half standing forward bend (Ardha Uttanasana)

With hands on the wall, one minute. 

Start by facing a bare wall, standing approximately two feet from it, with your feet parallel to each other. 

Place both your hands on the wall, a bit lower than shoulder height. 

Step back one foot at a time until you are far enough away from the wall to bend at your hips and stretch your arms straight in front of you.

Keep your feet directly under your hips and elongate your legs. 

Try not to round your lower back. 

Rather, allow your lower back to retain its natural inward curve.
