Instructions
Step 1. Sit on the floor with one leg extended straight in front of you, toes pointing up. Bend the other leg and rest the sole of that foot against the inner thigh of the straight leg, letting the knee fall out to the side.
Step 2. Sit up tall with your chest open and your shoulders back. Breathe in, then as you breathe out, lean forward from the hips over the straight leg while keeping your back long. Reach for your shin, ankle or foot, only as far as you can without rounding your back, and hold. Then switch sides.
