Instructions
- 1
Stand up straight with the spine vertical, the left foot slightly in front of the right.
- 2
Bend both knees and lift the back heel off the floor as you press the right hip forward. You can't get a thorough, deep stretch in this position, however, because it's hard to relax the hip flexor and stand on it at the same time. Switch sides.
