How to perform

Kneel with knees hip-width apart. Extend right leg, heel on ground, toes up. Shift hips back, maintain straight spine and lifted chest. Gently lean forward from hips, feeling a stretch in the back of your leg. Hold for 20-30 seconds, breathe deeply. Repeat on the other side.

Tips

Maintain a straight back. Engage your core for balance. Avoid bouncing; stretch gently. Breathe deeply. Cushion knee if needed.
