Seated Forward Bend Pose
Starting position: use the Yoga Block to support the head, placing the spine in ideal alignment
Placing the hands on top of the Block in this pose, increases the length through the arms and
shoulders, and places more focus on stabilizing the torso and stretching the hips and legs
To increase the challenge once stability is achieved, place the Block flat on the floor
This allows for an even greater stretch through the whole body

Wrap the Yoga Strap around the
top of the foot in the Lord of the
Dance pose
The strap allows individuals with
less flexibility to achieve the pose
comfortably
This helps open the front
wall of the body resulting in
a greater stretch
When performing the
King Pigeon Pose, use the
Yoga Strap to hold the
position when there is not
enough flexibility to hold
the foot directly
This allows greater length
through the hip flexors,
abdominals and shoulders
