Instructions

Setup

Standing with feet significantly wider than hip-width, knees slightly bent, and toes pointed outward. Keep your torso upright and engage your core.

Movement

  1. Sink into a shallow Sumo position bringing your hips down low while maintaining a wide stance.

  2. Lean slightly forward and place your hands on your knees to support your weight.

  3. Gently push outward on your knees using your hands/arms to increase the stretch in your inner thighs.

  4. Optionally, perform alternating shoulder dips into the center to intensify the stretch on each side.

Tip

Keep your heels firmly on the ground and focus on breathing deeply during the hold to improve flexibility without forcing the joints.
