How to do it

  1. Sit on the floor with your knees bent and drawn towards your chest.

  2. Wrap your arms around your knees, hugging them tightly.

  3. Hold the stretch in this position, allowing your back to round slightly and your head to relax forward.

  4. After holding the stretch for the desired amount of time, release your arms and return to a neutral sitting position.

Form tips

  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid hunching them up towards your ears.

  • Breathe deeply and steadily throughout the stretch to help relax your muscles.

  • Perform the stretch slowly and avoid any sudden movements to prevent strain.
