1. Begin by lying on your back on a flat, comfortable surface.
2. Bend your knees and place the soles of your feet flat on the ground, with your feet close together.
3. Gently let your knees fall open to the sides, placing the soles of your feet together while your knees point outward.
4. Use your hands for support by either placing them on the ground beside you or gently applying pressure on your knees to deepen the stretch, depending on your level of flexibility.
5. Relax your hips and lower back, allowing gravity to help increase the stretch.
6. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, or longer if you're comfortable, focusing on relaxing into the stretch and breathing deeply.
7. Carefully bring your knees back together and return to the starting position.
8. Repeat the stretch if desired, ensuring you remain in a comfortable range of motion without forcing your knees down.
Note: It is important to perform this stretch gently to avoid any strain on the knee joints. If you feel any discomfort, ease off the stretch slightly.
