Seated Forward Melt

Gentle full-body wind-down

Wind down

How to

Sitting comfortably with legs loosely crossed or bent, slowly fold your torso forward over your legs, letting your arms and head hang heavy and completely relaxed.

Benefits

  • A passive, gravity-assisted release for the back and shoulders
  • Calming to end a stretching session or a long day
  • Requires no active reaching or holding — the point is to let go

Practice

Hold 30-60 seconds, breathing slowly and letting each exhale sink you slightly deeper without forcing it.
