Standing Forward Bend

Allow all the stress to melt and pour off your back in Standing Forward Bend:

Begin in Mountain Pose at the front of your mat. Inhale and reach your arms straight above you.
As you exhale, engage your abs and fold forward with a straight back. Tuck your chin in toward your chest, relax your shoulders, and extend the crown of the head toward the floor to create a long spine. Shift your weight forward onto your toes, straightening the legs as much as possible. Place your hands on the ground, fingertips lining up with the toes.
Hold here for five breaths.
