Getting into Prasarita Padottanasana B
From the wide stance, place your hands on your hips instead of the floor, and fold forward from the hips only as far as you can go while keeping your back flat and hands on your hips, this variation builds the fold using your hip flexors and core rather than your hands.
What a teacher would tell you
- Hips over heels.
- Crown toward the floor.
- Inner thighs rolling back.
These are the corrections My Ashtanga speaks aloud while you hold the posture.
