Instructions

Begin by standing up and stepping your left foot forward one pace or about a yard.

Then lower your head down towards your front shin.

How to make Triangle Forward Bend (Left) easier

If you find this hard to do with straight legs, try having a slight bend in your front leg to release the hamstring tension a little. Also if you cannot reach the floor with your hands, support yourself by holding around your front ankle.
