Seated Wide Angle Pose Sequence

1. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. 2. Open your legs as wide as you comfortably can, creating a wide angle between them. 3. Bend forward from your hips, reaching your hands forward towards your feet. 4. Keep your spine long and straight as you fold forward. 5. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds to 1 minute, breathing deeply. 6. Slowly come back up to a seated position, using your core and leg muscles to support yourself. 7. Repeat the forward bend 2 more times, gradually increasing the depth of the stretch with each repetition. 8. Remember to listen to your body and only go as far as feels comfortable for you.

How to perform the Seated Wide Angle Pose Sequence

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Seated Wide Angle Pose Sequence using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your abdominals.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your abdominals rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
