Supta Padangusthasana or "reclining big-toe pose". In this pose, you lay down on your back but maintaining Tadasana, and extending one of your legs as far back as possible. You want to make sure that you engage the knee cap and only go as far as you can with a perfectly straight leg. If you can, grab your toes with you hand, but the leg has to be straight and your other leg is in Tadasana. Most people are unable to touch their toes in this position so you can use a strap wrapped around the metatarsal of your foot.
