Description

From hands and knees, bring one shin forward only as far as hip comfort allows and extend the other leg behind; keep pelvis supported and square-ish.

Easier option

Use a reclined Figure Four instead; support the front hip with a cushion.

Breathing cue

Breathe normally; never press the front knee into position.
