\"\"<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

How to do it<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sitting on the floor, bend knees and open them out to the side like a book. Join the soles of your feet together while sitting upright.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Place fingertips on the floor directly behind you and lengthen up through the spine. You can also hold onto your ankles and hinge forward at the hips.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re feeling stiff, sit on the edge of a blanket to help your forward fold.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

The benefits<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019ll give your inner thighs and groin a nice stretch, while the forward bend creates a calming, cooling effect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meditate every single day. Not once in a while. Every single day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
