How to practice
Fold over your standing leg and reach the other leg back and up. Soften the standing knee and let your neck relax.
Benefits
Combines a deep standing-leg hamstring stretch with hip strength and balance as the other leg lifts.
Who should avoid or modify
- Use blocks and keep the lifted leg low enough to control. Do not lock the standing knee, twist the pelvis to gain height, or pull into hamstring pain.
