Sit up straight on the floor with your legs bent in front of you, feet on the floor.
Take one leg, drop your knee out, and place your foot in the gap underneath your other leg.
Next, hold your second leg on the shin and gently guide it around so that your foot rests beside the hip on the same side.
This will be the leg you focus on stretching.
You may need to adjust your legs a little so that the sole of your front foot rests against the top of your knee on your other leg.
The shin of your back leg should form a right angle with your front shin.
Lean your body towards your back foot, using the opposite arm to facilitate this stretch.
You will feel this in the hip on your rear leg.
Hold this position.
Sit up straight, and then repeat.
