Seated Bent-Knee to Chest Buttock Stretch
Sitting tall with one leg straight, the hands hug the other bent knee to the chest until the buttock stretches; held for time.
How to do it
Setup
Sitting on the floor, one leg straight in front, the other knee bent with the foot flat beside it.
Steps
- Wrap both arms around the bent knee.
- Hug it to the chest while the spine grows tall.
- Hold and breathe, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Slumping over the knee: the chest lifts and the knee comes to it. Leaning back to pull harder: sit up on the sit bones. The straight leg rolling out: keep its kneecap pointing up.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
