Standing Forward Fold
Muscles Engaged:
1. Hip muscles 2. Hamstring muscles 3. Calf muscles
This pose takes away the pressure of standing upright from your neck. Also some people find it relaxing because with your head below your heart, blood rushes to your brain. This sudden extra supply of oxygen has been known to reduce stress and anxiety.
I can see how it may seem uncomfortable when you're new to yoga and your ability to reach your ankles may be difficult or slightly uncomfortable. For me I find this stretch to be relaxing and ofcourse if you have any back pain or spine injuries please consult with your primary care before attempting this movement.
*Tip: You can also perform the forward fold sitting down.
