How to do Seated Head To Knee Pose 2

  1. Keep your right leg extended toward the front of the mat.
  2. Keep your left leg's outward position within a range that leaves your knee comfortable.
  3. Turn your chest toward your extended right leg without forcing your pelvis to follow.
  4. Lengthen your spine before moving your chest toward your right thigh.
  5. Fold from your hips over your right leg, keeping the movement small enough to stay comfortable.
  6. Hold your right foot with both hands only if it is comfortably within reach.
  7. Keep your grip relaxed rather than pulling on your right foot to deepen the fold.
  8. Let your head follow your spine instead of reaching your chin toward your knee.
  9. Release your grip and bring your torso upright slowly, leaving your legs in place.
