Seated Straddle

Seated Straddle stretches your hamstrings in a different way than the Seated Forward Bend, and also feels amazing if you have a tight lower back.

Sit on the bed with your legs wide, with about four or so feet between your heels. You can place some pillows in front of you and lean onto them for a relaxing stretch, or go deeper (without any pillows) by walking your hands out in front of you.
Relax like this for five breaths and then sit up.

This is false advertising at its best. If you can do these poses on a bed, then why don't they show this in the photos. Can these poses really be maintained on a bed???
