How to do it

Step your feet wide, bend deeply into one knee to squat down, and stretch the other leg straight out to the side with the toes lifted. Lean your torso gently over the bent leg.

What it should feel like

A long stretch through the inner thigh of the straight leg and the hip of the bent side. Rocking side to side, the hips feel wider and freer.

Common mistakes

Letting the bent knee cave inward past the foot. Track the knee toward the little-toe side, and support the heel with a blanket if it lifts.
