Bikram Yoga Countdown; Day 3

Paschimottanasana

Stretching

Do it the Bikram Way

This is a Flat-Back Forward-Stretch – not rounded like the previous two. Start with a long, flat spine, belly pulled in, shoulders pulled away from the earlobes. Tilt hips back, not sitting on the coccyx but on the sit bones. Over time, your heels slide forward until the legs are straight. Once that box is ticked, lock the knees out and then, only then, start to pull, looking forward. Touch your forehead to your toes!  (Don’t laugh! ☺)
