Advanced yogis, take note. Full standing bow is an amazing multitasker of a pose that simultaneously improves balance, increases flexibility and builds strength.

If you can't achieve a complete straight line, keep a bend in your lifted leg while still reaching for the ankle. Follow the tips below to watch your full standing bow take off.
