Relax into Supta Padagusthasana

Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose) embodies relaxed effort. The reclined position of this pose naturally encourages a sense of surrender. It also targets your hamstrings without stressing your lower back; the floor stabilizes your back and you can adjust your strap to suit your needs.

As you ease into Supta Padangusthasana, notice how it strikes a happy medium between active and restorative work. Check in with yourself to see if you can sense alertness and relaxation melding together in an even and balanced union.
