Single Leg Stretch

1. Lying on your back, bring yourself into a chest lift position. One at a time bring your legs into table top (knees over hips, shins parallel to the floor). Hands on top your knees.

2. Exhale: Place both of your hands on your right knee, straighten and reach your left leg away.

3. Quickly inhale to switch the legs, and exhale as you draw your left leg into table top, and right leg extends and reaches away.

4. Continue to transfer your hands to the bent knee each time. Pull in one leg, as the other reaches. Try to minimize any movement in your trunk. Repeat 8-10 times.
