Heel Slide
Step 1
Start by lying flat on your back on a yoga mat. Bend your knees and position your feet firmly on the mat, ensuring that they are hip-width apart and your spine is in a neutral position. Allow your arms to rest by your sides on the mat. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Exhale. While maintaining a neutral spine and gently drawing your ribs to your hips to engage your core, release your right leg, extend your knee and slide your heel along the mat.
Step 3
Inhale. Bend your knee and slide your right heel along the mat to return to the starting position.
Step 4
Exhale. While maintaining a neutral spine and drawing your ribs towards your hips, release your left leg, extend your knee and slide your heel along the mat.
Step 5
Inhale. Bend your knee and slide your left heel along the mat to return to the starting position. Continue alternating between sides for the specified number of repetitions.
