Hip and Back Stretch

This stretch is so delicious although it is called hip and back I also get a nice calf stretch with this one!

Part one

• Lengthen your right leg out, bring the other foot to flat on the floor next to the knee of the straight leg
• For added piriformis activation take the left foot over the right leg
• Sit tall and rotate away from the knee, hugging the knee with the opposite arm
• Hold for 30 seconds

Part two

• Next bring the flat foot back to the left side of the knee (if you had crossed it over the other leg)
• Let the knee of the left leg fall out to the side, you can support with a cushion if you need to
• Reach your left arm into the sky
• Take your right hand behind you for support
• Bend forward and over the straight leg holding on the side or foot of the right leg
• Push your knees towards the floor
• Hold for 30 / 60 seconds
• Repeat on other side
