Instructions

90 to 90 Overhead Reach Stretch

1. Starting Position:
- Sit on the floor with your left leg bent at a 90-degree angle in front of you, and your right leg bent at a 90-degree angle behind you, forming a “90-to-90” position.
- Your left foot should be directly in front of your left knee and your right foot pointed backward behind your right knee.

2. Hand Position:
- Place your left hand on the floor beside your left hip for support.
- Raise your right arm overhead, reaching towards the ceiling.

3. Movement:
- As you inhale, lengthen through your right side, reaching your right arm upwards.
- As you exhale, lean your torso gently to the left, feeling the stretch along your right side.

4. Hold Position:
- Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds, breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
- Ensure your left shoulder is relaxed and away from your ear.

5. Returning:
- Slowly return to the starting position by lifting your torso and lowering your right arm back to the floor.

6. Switch Sides:
- Repeat the stretch on the opposite side by switching your leg positions (right leg in front and left leg in back) and raising your left arm overhead.

7. Repetitions:
- Perform this stretch 2 to 4 times on each side, focusing on your breath and maintaining a comfortable range of motion.
