- 1Feel the stretch through the inner thigh of the straight leg
- 2Sit the hips back and down over the bent leg
- 3Keep your chest tall and core lightly braced
Common mistakes
- Avoid rounding your back as you sink down
- Do not let the bent knee cave inward
- Avoid bouncing; ease into the stretch and hold
