  • Sit up nice and tall with your feet flat on the floor
  • Place your right foot on the container, resting on the outside of the foot
  • Use your right hand to push from the inside of your right knee gently down toward the floor until you feel a mild stretch in your hip
  • Hold for a count of 4-5
  • Advanced stretch position Bring your right foot up, resting the outside of the foot on the top of your left thigh instead of a container, just above your left knee
  • Use your right hand to push from the inside of your right knee gently down toward the floor until you feel a mild stretch in your hip
  • Hold for a count of 4-5
  • Return to your starting position with your feet on the floor
  • Repeat on the left leg in initial or advanced stretch position of your choice
