- Position your left leg so that your foot is flat on the ground, creating about a 90-degree angle at the knee.
2. Body Position:
- Keep your torso upright and engage your core.
- Place your hands on your hips or at your sides for balance.
3. Movement:
- Slowly lean your upper body to the left side, reaching your left arm overhead and stretching towards the left side.
- As you lean, make sure to keep your hips stable and your body aligned.
4. Hold the Stretch:
- Hold this position for about 15 to 30 seconds, feeling the stretch along your right side.
- Focus on breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
5. Return to Starting Position:
- Gently return to the starting position by bringing your left arm down and upright body back to center.
6. Repeat:
- Switch sides by kneeling on your left knee and extending your right leg forward.
- Lean to the right side, repeating the stretch for the same duration.
7. Repetitions:
- Perform 2-3 sets on each side, depending on your comfort and flexibility level.
Tips:
