" Wide leg stretch. We’re going to be very careful when we start the next exercise. If you have any lower back issues or if you know you have really tight hamstrings I would like you to take this exercise slowly. If your lower back is healthy and your hamstrings are relatively long you can go ahead and do a little faster, we’re going to inhale center, we are going to actually we are going to reach down towards our left toes and drop our nose towards our leg we are going to inhale center, exhale comes towards the right leg. Inhale and exhale. Inhale center and exhale towards your right leg. Again if you have lower back issues I would like to keep your in this pace, you do not have to have your nose touching the leg just make sure you feel the stretch in the hamstrings as you pull forward. If you like to speed it up you can go ahead now… breathing through the nose… so we are doing our breath of fire, so when you inhale your belly are moving out and as you exhale your belly is moving in. Inhale center, hold the breath for a count of five one two three four five and exhale, hold for a count of five one two three four five again inhale and hold and exhale and hold… last time inhale and exhale."
