Asana name: Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend
Upavistha Konasana

Instruction to do this pose

Step 1

Sit in Dandasana (Staff Pose), then lean your torso back slightly on your hands and lift and open your legs to an angle of about 90 degrees (the legs should form an approximate right angle, with the p***s at the apex). Press your hands against the floor and slide your buttocks forward, widening the legs another 10 to 20 degrees. As with Dandasana, if you can’not sit comfortably on the floor, raise your buttocks on a folded blanket.

Step 2

Rotate your thighs outwardly, pinning the outer thighs against the floor, so that the knee caps point straight up toward the ceiling. Reach out through your heels and stretch your soles, pressing though the balls of the feet.

Step 3

With your thigh bones pressed heavily into the floor and your knee caps pointing up at the ceiling, walk your hands forward between your legs. Keep your arms long. As with all forward bends, the emphasis is on moving from the hip joints and maintaining the length of the front torso. As soon as you find yourself bending from the waist, stop, re-establish the length from the p***s to the navel, and continue forward if possible.

Step 4

Increase the forward bend on each exhalation until you feel a comfortable stretch in the backs of your legs. Stay in the pose 1 minute or longer. Then come up on an inhalation with a long front torso.

Contraindications and Cautions
Lower-back injury: Sit up high on a folded blanket and keep your torso relatively upright.

Benefits
Stretches the insides and backs of the legs
Stimulates the abdominal organs
Strengthens the spine
Calms the brain
Releases Groin

Have you heard of active and passive stretching???

Stretching is an excellent way to improve mobility and flexibility. Knowing the techniques and benefits for both active and passive stretching, will help you choose the right one at the right time.

Active Stretching: In active stretching, there is no external force being provided. You are actively moving one muscle group to stretch another. Active stretches can be completed without a stretching partner or stretching accessories. If you are performing the stretch with no external force, it is an active stretch.

Passive Stretching: In passive stretching, there is an external force being provided. You are being stretched instead of actively stretching. Passive stretching can be accomplished through partner stretches, using stretching accessories and/or just using gravity to assist your stretch. If the stretch is reliant on an external force, it is a passive stretch.

Passive static stretches are a great way to improve flexibility and can be used as a cool down. Active dynamic stretches are most commonly used as a warm up and are ideal to promote blood flow to the exercised muscle groups prior to activity.
