Against the wall, three to nine breaths.
Stand in Mountain pose a few feet from a wall (the stiffer you are, the closer to the wall you will need to stand).
Step your right leg forward toward the wall and your left leg back so your feet are about four feet apart.
Angle your back foot in deeply but keep your hips parallel to the wall.
On an exhalation, fold forward from the hips and place your hands on the wall as in the previous pose.
If your hamstrings are tight, move your front foot closer to the wall, with your trunk angling upward, hands higher than your pelvis.
Stay for three to nine breaths, breathing deeply, grounding the feet into the floor during the exhalations, then step forward with the back foot and come out of the pose.
Repeat on the other side.
