How to Avoid Yoga Injuries - Yoga seated forward fold

Hi, I'm Carolyne Heldman for Zenergy Yoga Studio in Denver, Colorado on behalf of Expert
Village. Just like in standing forward fold, in seated forward fold or Pascimottanasana
same issues with possible injury risk for low back. So the key will be to not necessarily
go forward as far you can in order to say "Hey look how far forward I can reach", but
rather to extend up through the spine. Keep the tail bone really rooted and grounded down
and then maybe find forward fold to here. Well I feel like my heart is reaching up and
forward towards the, maybe where the ceiling and the wall meet in front of me. It might
look a little bit more aggressive. However I'm still extending out through my spine rather
than curling in. In Pascimottanasana-C I can curl a bit and you can look towards your belly
button and have an internal feel. But in Pascimottanasana traditionally let's just extend out through
the spine and lengthen in the spine rather than curling it.
