1 - Begin by lying on your side on a comfortable surface, such as a yoga mat. Place your right arm under your head as a pillow and bend your right knee to 90 degrees.
2 - Keep your left leg extended straight along the ground.
3 - Reach your left hand behind you and gently grasp your left ankle.
4 - Slowly pull your left heel toward your left glutes while keeping your knees close together.
5 - You should feel a stretch in the front of your left thigh (quadriceps).
6 - Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds while taking deep breaths.
7 - Release your left ankle and return your leg to the extended position.
8 - Roll over to your other side to stretch the quadriceps on your right leg.
