Positioning Your Legs:

Hand Placement:

• Rest your hands on your right knee, with your palms facing down.

• Alternatively, you can place your hands on your thighs for added support.

Engaging Your Core:

Movement:

• While keeping your back straight, lean slightly forward to deepen the stretch in your hip.

• Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and steadily.

Return to Starting Position:

• Inhale as you come back to the starting position, releasing pressure on the knee.

• Repeat the same steps with the opposite leg.

Repetition:
