STEPS:
1. Begin seated with your legs extended in front of you.
2. Bring your ankles in towards you with your knees pointing outwards
3. Place both hands behind you and use your elbows to recline backwards. Guide yourself gently down so you are laying on your back.
4. Arms should be extended out diagonally with your palms facing upward.
5. With each exhale, lower your knees closer to the ground.
** Modification 1: If you are tight in the hips, you can place yoga blocks, blanket, or books under your knees for support.
** Modification 2: Place your palms on your inner thighs and let the natural weight of your hands deepen the stretch.
6. Hold the pose for at least one minute if possible. Ideally, 5-10 minutes.
7. To come out of the pose, grab your knees and bring them back together. Use your elbows and arms to bring your body back to the starting position.
