How to do a 90 90 stretch
- Sit on the mat with both knees bent at 90 degrees, one leg in front and one leg out to the side.
- Keep your front shin parallel to your body and your back thigh in line with your hip.
- Sit tall through your spine and place your hands lightly on the floor for support.
- Rotate your torso and hips to switch legs to the opposite 90/90 position.
- Move slowly and controlled, holding each position for a moment before switching.
Form tips
- Keep both knees bent at right angles throughout the movement.
- Maintain a tall, neutral spine and avoid rounding your back.
- Move from the hips rather than forcing the knees.
