Starting Position

1. Make sure to keep your leg straight and your thigh perpendicular to the floor throughout the exercise.

2. Hold the stretch for 30-60 seconds.

3. Slowly release the tension on the strap or towel and lower your leg back to the starting position.

4. Repeat the stretch on the other side.

Breathing Technique

1. As you pull the strap or towel, take a deep breath in.

2. As you hold the stretch, exhale and focus on the stretch sensation.

2. Place a yoga strap or towel around the sole of your left foot.
