Lying flat on your back bend your right knee up towards your chest and slightly across the body to the left shoulder.

With your right hand clasp the right knee and lock it into position. Gently draw up your pelvic floor and draw your belly button towards your spinal column.

Reach down to the right ankle with the left hand, come over the top of the right ankle and, without moving your right knee, gently pull the right ankle across your body to the point where you feel a gentle stretching sensation in the back of your right hip (glute muscle).

Hold at this point of stretch for 20-30 seconds, relax and repeat the sequence (in reverse) on the opposite side of the body. Repeat as directed 2-3 times on either side of the body.
