  4. INHALE. Look half the up to the horizon. Lengthen the spine.
  5. EXHALE. VINYASA. Jump or walk back to pass to Purvottanasana..

COMMENT

As you bend forward have the intention in mind of going with the chest towards the thighs, instead of the head, to get the maximum elongation of the hamstrings. This will prevent future lower back pains. Look to the toes.
