Supported Front Body Stretch (Purvottanasana)

On two chairs.

Set up for the pose by placing one chair with its back about two feet from the wall and a second chair facing the first.

Sit backward on the chair farther from the wall and put your legs through the back of the other chair, then slide your buttocks onto the other chair, bend your knees, and brace your feet against the wall.

From this position, lie back onto the two chairs with your head near the back of the seat of the second chair.

You can lay your head directly on the seat of the second chair, or if your chin is higher than your forehead when your head is flat, place a support under your head.

Holding on to the first chair with your hands, use your legs to push away from the wall, until they are straight.

From there, thread your arms through the back of the second chair and stretch them toward the center of the room.
