A festival of lights, love, happiness and so many delicacies to binge on. This week’s #MalaikasMoveOfTheWeek will provide help to burn those extra Diwali calories – Paschimottanasana with a brick, which can be referred to as Seated Forward Bend.

Using a brick will level up the pose, making it more practical (sic).”
