How to practice
Sit tall and keep the stretch in your hips, with no pressure in your knees. Choose easy crossed legs or a reclined figure four. Support the thighs and keep both feet relaxed enough to avoid strain.
Benefits
Stretches the outer hips in a seated position with both legs folded.
Who should avoid or modify
- Support any gap under the upper knee with a cushion. Do not press the knees down or stack the legs if this creates knee or ankle pain.
