How to do:
Start on All Fours: Begin in a tabletop position with your wrists under shoulders and knees under hips.
Sit Back: Gently lower your hips toward your heels while keeping your arms extended forward or resting alongside your body.
Forehead to the Floor: Allow your forehead to rest on the mat or a cushion for comfort.
Relax and Breathe: Close your eyes, relax your shoulders, and breathe deeply.
Benefits:
Stretches the lower back, hips, and thighs

Tips:
If hips don’t reach heels, place a cushion or blanket under the hips.
Keep knees together for a more restorative pose or spread them wide for a deeper hip stretch.
If forehead doesn't reach the floor, place a block or cushion under it for support.
STOP, IF ANYTHING HURTS!
