In Ashtanga yoga, although there are technically four Wide-Legged Forward Bend poses, sometimes I've been to classes where the instructor throws in a fifth — Wide-Legged Forward Bend E. This pose is great for stretching your hips, hamstrings, and inner thighs. Sanskrit Name: Prasarita Padottanasana E English Translation: Feet Spread Intense Stretch Pose E Also Called: Wide-Legged Forward Bend E or Wide-Legged Split You definitely don't have to go down this far.

I'm so excited that so many of you sent in your Wide-Legged Split photos to the YOGA CHALLENGE Group. There were so many awesome photos, but I had to choose the one I liked best. Suzanne, you and you husband's photos were my favorite.

Wide-Legged Forward Bend wasn't too difficult, right? It's a great way to stretch out your hips and hamstrings. You think you're loose enough to try Wide-Legged Split pose?
