Technique

  1. Lie on your back with your buttocks and legs against a wall, opening your legs into a wide Straddle position .
  2. Place weights (such as ankle weights or light plates) on your inner thighs or ankles to increase the stretch.
  3. Relax into the position, allowing the added weight to slowly pull your legs closer to the floor.

Form tips

  1. Focus on rotating your pelvis forward (anterior Pelvic tilt ) rather than rounding your back.
  2. Keep your knees locked and toes pointing away from the wall.
