"A really great way to help your digestive system is the, with the wide legged forward fold. So we're going to ask Gina to sit with her legs spread wide. Good. She's just going to stick, extend her legs out to the sides. Good. And she's going to lengthen out through her spine. Now we're going to place the bolster right in here. Good. She's going to inhale lengthen up and she's going to exhales and just fold forward. Good. Now Gina might find that that doesn't bring you down far enough, and just in case we'll just going to show this anyway, we're going to put another bolster right up there and then she can just release forward and relax her head down, nice and gently. Good. This really helps with the digestive track, helps with elimination, as well as giving your spine just a little bit of break. Now she's going to inhale and then softly exhale and just allow herself to release and relax into the pose. Now Gina would want to stay here for three to five minutes and then she would want to turn her head over to the other side so her opposite ear is on the bolster so she can come even through the neck."
