Seated angle pose

Stretches the back of the thighs and hips. Opens the chest. Increases blood circulation in the entire lower abdomen, and  keeps it healthy.
  1. Sit in the starting position with legs extended. Breathe in, and place your legs wide apart. Grasp the outsides of your feet, and raise your chest. Bend your knees if you cannot reach with your legs straight.
  2. Breathe out, and let your upper body fall toward the floor. Stabilize your bottom completely downward, and begin to lean your chest forward from the waist. Strive to come down with your chest toward the floor. Hold the position for ten deep breaths. If it seems difficult to let your upper body fall forward, you can place your hands behind your hips, and try to stretch your upper body upward so that your back is as straight as possible.
  3. Breathe in, and rise up.
  4. Do a Vinyasa and come down from the Downward-facing dog to lie on your stomach.
