Fold through

Fold through is a classic frontbending pose that is a great progression for those working towards human knot after attaining tricks such as pike or pancake. Fold through utilises a performer's hamstring flexibility as well as quad strength. This trick also makes use of back flexibility. Good form of this pose is to have straight legs with the head moving away from the glutes, trying to use as little back arch as possible.
