Part 4/7:
After both sides have been addressed, roll onto your side to transition into a seated posture. Extend your right leg while keeping the left foot against your inner thigh. Here, initiate a gentle side lean towards your extended leg, noting how the left side of your lower back feels while you simultaneously close your eyes and tune into your breath.
Options to Modify
For those looking to intensify the stretch, consider lifting your left arm overhead to create an even deeper opening. Otherwise, letting that arm rest on your knee is perfectly fine.
Once the pose is complete, bring your knees wide into a butterfly position. Allow your knees to flutter gently up and down and then extend your left leg forward while bending your opposite knee similarly.
