The position of the seat clamp is somewhat more complicated than it sounds. It even takes a good deal of practice and patience to execute it properly. If at first you can’t descend low or achieve your toes, do not try and force yourself so as to not injure yourself.

Sit on the floor, back legs, and straight forward. Inhale and exhale by leaning forwards, taking care to perform the motion from the hip, and not out of the waist. If you can not reach your feet with your hands, then you can use a rubber ring. Hold the posture for a few minutes.
