Paschimottanasana is one of the most basic poses in Hatha Yoga and can be one of the most relaxing if done properly. When first coming into the pose it is always best to start this pose with your knees bent no matter what level you are at in your practice. Beginners should sit up on a folded blanket in this pose, and most beginners need to hold a strap around the feet. Extremely stiff students can place a rolled up blanket under their knees.
