1. Starting Position: - Begin on your hands and knees. This is known as the quadruped position. - Your wrists should be directly under your shoulders and your knees should be under your hips. - Keep your back flat and core engaged to maintain a neutral spine.
2. Movement: - Slowly lift your right knee off the ground, keeping your foot flexed. - While maintaining the bend in your knee, drive your right foot upward towards the ceiling. - Make sure to squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement. - Hold the position for a brief moment at the top.
3. Return to Start: - Lower your right knee back to the ground to return to the starting position. - Ensure that your torso remains stable and your back stays flat throughout the movement.
4. Repetitions: - Perform 10 to 15 repetitions on the right side. - Switch to the left side and repeat the same movement.
Tips for Beginners: - Start slow to ensure proper form. - Focus on the movement of the leg rather than rushing through the repetitions. - If you feel any discomfort in your knees, consider using a yoga mat or cushion for support.
