Lying Knee to Chest Stretch
On your back, one knee is drawn to the chest while the other foot stays down; the buttock and lower back lengthen.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor.
Steps
- Lift one knee and clasp both hands behind the thigh.
- Draw the knee toward the chest until the buttock stretches.
- Hold and breathe, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Lifting the head to meet the knee: bring the knee to you. Pulling on the shin: clasp behind the thigh to spare the knee. Yanking the knee in: draw it slowly and let the hip settle.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
