The Health Postures & Their Stages of Accomplishment

done barefooted and without support under the heels, after one gets accustomed to the posture.

Clothing should be loose and free in order to get the most value out of the few minutes spent in this stretching posture. Pajamas or shorts are ideal for it. If done in other clothing, like trousers or slacks, gently test their range of giving in the direction you are going - or they will part company! Also, the range of stretch that can be accomplished will be far too limited in tight clothing.
