Instructions
1. Begin by lying flat on your back with your legs extended and your arms at your sides.
2. Slowly bring one knee towards your chest, wrapping your hands around your shin just below the knee. Keep your other leg straight and in contact with the ground.
3. Gently pull the knee closer to your chest until you feel a comfortable stretch in your hamstring and glute area. Your lower back may also experience a gentle stretch.
4. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds while breathing deeply. Maintain steady and slow breaths to help relax into the stretch.
5. Carefully release your leg back to the starting position.
6. Repeat the stretch with the opposite leg.
7. Perform the stretch for both legs 2-3 times, depending on your comfort and flexibility level.
