Standing Forward Bend Yoga Position for Menopausal Women

Video Transcript

"Wide leg forward bend, so you are going to step your legs, pretty wide from one another and we want the leg in between your heels. It is the same as the length of our legs from our heels. So we have an equilateral triangle. Bring your hands to your hips, keep your belly pulled in, your tail bone dropping down, pressure your elbows towards one another, lift your heart, see you are coming in to a standing back bend and begin to lean folding at the hips, we have a nice crease here, bring your hands to the floor, inhale, lift the heart and exhale flow the crown of the head down towards the floor you can put your hands behind you, but this is a little to intense for you. You can place a chair in front of you, cross your arms and rest your forehead on your forearms. Again ideally you stay in this pose for 5-10 minutes. This is a nice pose. You really start to stretch out the back of the legs. This is a good pose for the lower back and again because our heart starting to drop these are the nice common effect on our nervous system. When you are ready to come out of the pose you can press your hands into the chair or into the floor and just walk your feet in towards one another and your hands to your hips or your belly in and come to standing."
