The Lotus pose is a popular yoga pose that is often combined with a forward bend to create a deeper stretch and release tension in the hips and lower back. To begin, sit on your mat with your legs crossed and your hands resting on your knees.
Slowly bring your right foot up and place it on your left thigh, then bring your left foot up and place it on your right thigh.
Take a deep inhale and on the exhale, slowly lower your torso forward, reaching your hands towards your feet.
Allow your head to hang heavy and breathe deeply, feeling the stretch in your hips and lower back.
Hold this pose for several breaths before slowly releasing and coming back to a seated position.
