This is the basic quad stretch. Keep your bent knee aligned under your pelvis, and be careful not to let it veer to the side. As you stretch, avoid pulling too hard on the foot—you should not experience any knee pain. If you have difficulty balancing, rest your free hand on a wall or chair for support.
- Standing, bend your right leg and reach back with your right hand to grasp your right foot. Gently pull your right heel in toward your buttock.
- Tuck your pelvis under and line up your knees. Reach up with your left arm and balance for 3 breath cycles. Repeat on the other side.
