Stand upright against a wall with your feet together. Lean forward from the hips and bring your chest slowly towards your legs until you feel the stretch on the back of the thighs. Clasp your hands behind your legs and pull against to maintain the stretch.

Release the hands and raise the torso slowly to exit.
