Bent-Leg Toe Tap
Step 1
Start by lying flat on your back on a yoga mat. Bend your knees and position your feet firmly on the mat, ensuring that your hips and knees are together. Imprint your spine into the mat and bring your legs into tabletop position, ensuring that your knees are stacked over your hips, your toes are pointed, and your shins are parallel to (in line with) the floor. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Set your T-zone. Exhale. While maintaining an imprinted spine and drawing your ribs towards your hips, lower your legs to touch your toes on the mat, ensuring that you do not change the angle of your knees.
Step 3
Inhale. Elevate your legs to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions. If you cannot maintain an imprinted spine while touching your toes to the mat, then only lower your legs as low as you can.
