How to do a 90 90 stretch

  1. Sit on the mat with both knees bent at 90 degrees, one leg in front and one leg out to the side.
  2. Keep your front shin parallel to your body and your back thigh in line with your hip.
  3. Sit tall through your spine and place your hands lightly on the floor for support.
  4. Rotate your torso and hips to switch legs to the opposite 90/90 position.
  5. 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.
