Alternating Lying Drop Bent-Knee Leg

Setup

1. Lie flat on your back on a yoga mat.

2. Extend both arms straight up towards the ceiling, perpendicular to the floor.

3. Bring your legs up into a tabletop position, with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle and your calves parallel to the ground.

Execution

1. While keeping your lower back pressed firmly into the mat, core engaged, slow and controlled, lower your right leg towards the floor, keeping the 90-degree angle at the knee so that your right heel taps or hovers just above the floor.

2. Return the right leg to the starting tabletop position.

3. Repeat the movement with your left leg.

4. Continue alternating sides throughout the duration of the set.

Key Tips

• Maintain a steady breath throughout the exercise.

• Ensure your lower back does not lift; imagine pushing your belly button towards your spine.
