Sit on folded blanket or pillow. Widen legs sideways, extend heels, lift kneecaps, and tighten front thigh muscles.
Place hands on floor alongside hips. Press down with fingers, raise chest, and actively extend legs.
Concentrate on expanding chest with each breath. If stretch becomes too easy, gradually widen legs. Keep backs of knees pressed firmly to floor.
To release, place hands behind back, ease hips backward, bend knees, and gently bring legs together. Rest in a comfortable cross-legged sitting position.
This posture stretches inner thigh muscles and lifts and expands chest.
