How to perform Knee Across The Body

  1. Lie on your back with your right leg extended and bend your left knee toward you.
  2. Use your right hand to guide the bent knee across your body, letting the pelvis turn while your left shoulder remains toward the floor.
  3. Rest your left arm out comfortably to the side and keep your head in a comfortable position.
  4. Stop where you feel a controlled stretch; neither the knee nor the opposite shoulder needs to be forced farther down.
  5. Ease out of the position, return the knee to center and repeat on the other side.
