In Step 3 of Surya Namaskar, slowly bend your body forward from the hips while exhaling completely.
Try to keep your spine relaxed and allow your upper body to hang naturally.
Bring your hands down toward the floor beside your feet or try to touch your toes.
Do not bend your knees if possible, but keep them soft if your body is tight.
Let your head relax toward your legs to release tension from the neck and shoulders.
This posture improves blood circulation and helps stretch the hamstrings and back muscles.
It also prepares your body for deeper yoga stretches in the next steps of Surya Namaskar.
