Instructions

Setup

  1. Begin in a kneeling position on all fours on a yoga mat.

  2. Extend one leg out directly to the side, keeping it straight with the sole of the foot flat or resting on the heel, depending on your mobility.

Execution

  1. Maintaining a flat back, slowly shift your hips backward toward the heel of the bent knee.

  2. Feel a deep stretch along the inside of the extended leg.

  3. Hold this position for the desired duration or slowly pulse back and forth to increase range of motion.

  4. Keep your hands on the floor in front of you for stability throughout the movement.

  5. Ensure your chest remains square to the floor rather than rotating.
