How to
Starting Position: Sit on the floor with both hips and knees bent at 90-degree angles. Leg Placement: Place one leg in front of you (external rotation) and the other leg out to the side/behind you (internal rotation). The shins and knees should remain flat on the ground. The Movement: Keeping your hips square, hinge your torso forward or tilt it laterally (side-to-side) toward the front leg to deepen the stretch. Target Areas: Stretches the glutes and piriformis (front leg) and the hip flexors and quads (back leg). Engages the core and obliques during lateral flexion. Goal: Improves hip mobility, specifically internal and external rotation, and relieves lower back tension.
