Standing Hand-to-Toe

Balance, hamstring length, and focus in one pose. The strap brings it within reach.

How to

1. Stand at the top of the mat, near a wall if you like, and loop a yoga strap around the right foot.
2. Lift the right knee to the chest, holding the strap in the right hand.
3. Extend the leg forward, pressing the foot into the strap.
4. Stand tall through the standing leg; fix the gaze on a point ahead.
5. Lower with control. Repeat on the left.

Tips

• Keep the standing hip stacked over the ankle, not pushed out to the side.
• Height doesn't matter — a straight spine does.
• Micro-bend the standing knee to avoid locking it.
