Lie on wedge-shaped pillow pile with narrow edge of wedge against tailbone. Support head with small pillow.
Bend left knee and hold left foot with both hands. Straighten and extend right leg on mat. Right thigh rolls inward, and right knee and toes face ceiling.
Inhale and lift left foot until bottom of foot faces ceiling. On an exhalation descend left knee toward floor beside body. While stretching, maintain alignment of right leg.
Release and extend left leg. Bend right knee and pull foot toward floor. After completing both sides, bend knees, roll onto one side, and come up to a sitting position.
This pose increases rotation of thigh bones in hip sockets and stretches back thigh muscles.
