Lying Figure Four

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.
Lift up your right leg and bend it open to the right, placing your right ankle on top of your left knee. To feel a deeper stretch, gently push the right knee away from your body.
Hold for 30 seconds, breathing deeply throughout.
Each time that you exhale, turn out your right leg further to increase the stretch, ensuring that your spine remains in a neutral position and your tailbone remains in contact with the ground.
Repeat this stretch with the left leg.
