Lie back. One leg up, held behind the thigh.
- Lie on your back with both knees bent and your feet on the floor.

- Straighten that leg toward the ceiling as far as is comfortable.
- Draw it gently toward you and let your head and shoulders stay down.
Where you feel itBack of the thighBehind the knee
Tips: Keep the other foot on the floor so your back stays flat. Keep a soft bend in the lifted knee and let the stretch settle into the thigh.
Easier: Use a strap, a belt or a towel around the foot. Keep the lifted knee bent and hold behind the calf instead.
