How to perform

Sit with a straight back, knees bent, and feet together. Hold your feet and gently pull them towards you, allowing knees to drop. Inhale, then exhale as you lean forward from the hips, maintaining a straight back. Lean as far as comfortable, feeling a stretch in your inner thighs and hips. Hold for 20-30 seconds, breathing deeply. Slowly return to the starting position.

Tips

Maintain a straight spine. Lean from the hips, not the back. Use a block or cushion under knees if needed. Best performed post-workout. Breathe deeply throughout.
