Forward bends bring quietness and calmness to the mind. This practice is a well-rounded way of opening and lengthening the back of the body to access the necessary actions for bending forward. These poses are categorised as "forward extensions", so keep in mind that the main action at the trunk is to go forward, and then, progressively, closer to the leg or legs.
