Our featured yogi for Year of Yoga: Standing Forward Bend!
Joanna - I have been practicing Yoga since 1995 and Standing Forward Fold/bend has got to be one of the toughest poses for me. Although I am flexible, I have very tight hamstrings which yell at me while do this pose. It also pushes me to continue to practice it daily and accept my body for what it can and cannot do. Thank you. Namaste. xoxo

Emmely - Of all Yoga Poses I love the Forward Bends the most. Every Forward Bend gives me something else, something new. The Standing Forward Bend in particular gives me a lot more. Physically I enjoy the deep stretches in my body; from the back of my legs, to my spine, the back of the neck, up to the crown of my head. Mentally it feels like a Waterfall, flushing it all out to Mother Earth, flushing every single thought that doesn’t support light and positivity in my mind. Emotionally it releases everything else, with every breath I feel lighter in my heart and soul. <3

@Kmuniac - I have always liked doing this pose especially the day I was able to bring my head to my knees and take a deep belly breath – progress not perfection. Practicing yoga and poses like this one has enabled me to let go of my wandering brain and focus on the now and present. Forward Bend encourages me to relax and feel my body getting stronger and my mind getting quieter.
