Dancer's stretch

Step 1

Begin in a seated position on a yoga mat with your legs extended out in front of you and feet flexed. Lift your left leg and place your foot on the mat on the outside of your right knee. Wrap your right arm around your left knee and place your left hand on the mat behind your hip, gently pulling your knee in towards your chest. Hold this position for the specified amount of time, breathing deeply throughout. Repeat this stretch on the other side.
