Seated Single-Leg Hamstring Reach Stretch

Setup

Sit on the mat with one leg extended straight and the other leg bent, placing the sole of the bent foot against the inner thigh of the extended leg.

Movement

1. Inhale while sitting tall to engage your core.

2. Exhale as you extend the arm on the same side as the extended leg toward your toes, while reaching the opposite arm overhead toward those same toes, creating a deep side bend.

3. Aim to keep your chest open and your sitting bones firmly on the mat.

4. Reach as far as comfortable to feel a stretch along the side of the torso and the back of the extended leg.

5. Hold the position for the desired duration before switching sides.
