Wide-Legged Forward Fold B

Prasarita Padottanasana B

Wide-Legged Forward Fold B keeps the hands on the hips through the fold, engaging the core and back to lower without arm support. Removing the hands challenges balance and strengthens the back body. A long spine leads the descent.

Alignment cues

• Feet wide, hands on the hips
• Fold from the hips with a long spine
• Draw the crown toward the floor, elbows back

Benefits

• Builds core strength by folding with hands on the hips
• Stretches the hamstrings and inner thighs
• Improves posture awareness

Modifications

• Keep the fold shallow until the low back and hamstrings warm up
• Widen the stance slightly for more stability
