Driven by the lower pelvis, exhale and slowly stretch your body forward toward your left foot. Keep your back straight, straighten your left heel, point your toes toward the sky, stretch your shoulders and arms, and push them forward as far as possible until you reach or even exceed the position of the left foot. 4. Inhale, straighten your back again, then exhale while slowly stretching your upper body forward, first the abdomen, then the chest, face, and finally the forehead, place them on the left calf, and hold the outside of the left foot with both hands. 5.
