Shift into a tabletop position, where your hands are placed behind you, fingers pointing toward your body.

Cross-Legged Seated Forward Fold: Unlocking the Hips
Sitting cross-legged, ensure that your right foot comes slightly forward. Depending on your flexibility, walk your hands away or keep them close to your feet. Maintain a long spine as you breathe deep, allowing the feelings of stretch to penetrate the back of your hips. Experiment with subtle movements while being mindful to keep your hips grounded.
