Setup instructions

1) Stand tall with your chest up, core tight, back flat and head neutral.

2) Shift the weight to your left side and lift your right foot up. Bend your knee, internally rotate the leg and grab the shin with both hands. Bend your left knee slightly and rest your left leg on your right thigh - it should look like a figure 4.

Note: to emphasise the stretch, bend the left knee and lower yourself to the floor.
