Benefits:
This pose opens your hips with gravity, letting you release into the stretch.
How it's done:
- Begin in a sitting position.
- Bend your left leg in and turn it out, laying the outside of your leg on the floor with your left foot outside of your right hip.
- Slide your right leg on top of your left. If it’s available to you, bring your right leg across so that your foot rests on your left knee.
- Place your hands at or behind your hips with fingertips on the floor.
- If you are able, lengthen your front body and place your hands out ahead of you. Without rounding your back, fold forward.
- Hold for 3-5 minutes, then release and repeat with the other leg on top.
