Description

Stand beside support, hold one ankle or strap behind, and move the thigh back only slightly while keeping the torso upright.

Easier option

Keep the free hand on a wall and use a strap; skip the backbend.

Breathing cue

Breathe normally; release the foot if balance or shoulder comfort changes.
