Topic description

Stand on one leg and grasp the instep of the other bent leg with your hand (same side of the body), pulling your heel towards your buttocks while rocking. Push your pelvis forwards and straighten up, keeping your upper body straight (upright posture). The stretch should not be achieved by bending the knee joint but by extending the hip joint. To keep your balance better, you can hold on to the back of the chair with your free hand. Then switch legs.

Material
