• Stand with legs apart in second position, distributing your weight evenly between both legs.
• Bending at the waist, stretch down toward your left leg.
• Allow the upper body to drop toward the left leg, making contact if possible.
• Let the right hand rest beside the left ankle.
• Your left hand should rest softly on your back, allowing for a nice stretch along the chest.
• Make sure your knees remain straight.
• Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, without forcing.
