Couch Stretch

Technique

How to perform Couch Stretch

1. Kneel in front of a wall, couch or bench and support the top of one foot behind you.
2. Place the other foot forward in a half-kneeling position.
3. Keep your ribs over your pelvis and gently bring your hips forward without arching your lower back.
4. Adjust your distance from the support to keep the rear-knee bend and front-thigh stretch controlled.
5. Ease out of the position and switch sides.
