The learning journey doesn't stop when you can touch your toes. Working on forward bends in this video. Paschimottanasana is always a work in progress for me. I've seen people touch their foreheads to their toes!
.
But whether or not you touch your toes, the benefits of forward bends are aplenty. The pose stimulates the liver, kidneys, ovaries & uterus. Improves digestion. Therapeutic for high blood pressure, infertility, insomnia & sinusitis. Traditional texts say that Paschimottanasana reduces obesity!
.
With each inhalation, you lift & lengthen the front torso just slightly. With each exhalation release a little more fully into the forward bend. I like to take deep inhalations, raise my hands high to length the torso to its maximum before I start to bend forward. It really makes a difference!

While sitting in this #pose, you stretch & lengthen the entire spine. Nevertheless, it's important to never force yourself into the #bend. Let the #goal be to lengthen the legs & spine rather than grabbing the feet or folding more deeply. This pose is #therapeutic for high blood pressure, infertility, insomnia & sinusitis. #Traditional texts also say that #Paschimottanasana increases appetite, reduces obesity & cures diseases.

Benefits:
-Stretches the #hamstrings, #spine & #lowerback
-Invigorates the nervous system; calms the #mind, relieves #stress & anxiety
-Relieves digestive problems (eg. constipation), sciatica & reduces fatigue
-Relieves symptoms of #PMS & #menopause
-Massages the internal organs; stimulates the reproductive & urinary systems.

#HowTo:

1) Sit up straight with your #legs together, stretched out in front of you. Point both feet straight up towards the ceiling.

2) Inhale & stretch your arms up over your head.

3) Exhale & bend #forward from the hips keeping your spine as elongated as possible. Place your hands on your legs, wherever they reach, without forcing. If you can, take hold of your toes and pull on them to help you go forward. Never force yourself into the #stretch.

4) If you find it difficult to bend forward, sit atop a rolled up blanket to give yourself a little more height so that you are able to hinge from your hips better. For a while, your pose may look more like you are sitting up than folding forward, but don’t worry as #muscles of the #hips & #back of the legs will loosen with regular #practice over time.

5) Stay in the pose anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes.

*Not to be done by pregnant #women & people who have had recent abdominal surgery.
