Instructions
Secure your ankles under a sturdy anchor or partner's hands while kneeling upright on a soft mat.
Keep your body straight from your knees to your shoulders, engaging your core and glutes.
Slowly lower your upper body forward toward the floor by resisting with your hamstrings for as long as possible.
Catch yourself with your hands when you can no longer hold the position, gently pressing into the floor.
Use your hands to push yourself back up to the starting kneeling position while engaging your hamstrings.
