Side-Lying Drop Outer-Thigh Diagonal Leg
Instructions
Setup
Lie on your side on a yoga mat with your legs fully extended and stacked on top of each other.
Prop yourself up on your bottom elbow or rest your head on your bottom arm for support.
Place your top hand on the floor in front of your chest to maintain stability.
Movement
Engage your core to keep your torso stable throughout the entire movement.
Slowly lift your top leg toward the ceiling, keeping it straight and ensuring your foot is parallel to the ground.
Raise your leg as high as you can without letting your pelvis roll forward or backward.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
With control, slowly lower your leg back to the starting position without letting it rest completely on your bottom leg.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other side.
