Expert Advice

Focus on keeping your spine straight and elongating through the torso. Use your elbows to gently press your knees down to deepen the stretch without forcing them.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Sit with your spine straight and legs extended in front of you.
  2. Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall out to the sides.
  3. Hold onto your feet or ankles and sit up tall.
  4. Gently press your knees down with your elbows if needed.
  5. Hold the pose for several deep breaths, focusing on relaxing your inner thighs.
