Figure 4 pose<br />
Stretches the inner thigh and gluteus. Lying<br />
on your back, cross one ankle over opposite<br />
knee. Interlace your fingers behind the thigh<br />
and pull your knee towards your chest. An<br />
alternative is to place one foot on the wall<br />
and push the opposite knee.<br />
Happy baby pose<br />
Stretches the inner thighs and the back.<br />
Holding on to your feet, bend your knees and<br />
pull them towards the floor besides your chest.<br />
An alternative would be to use belts as an<br />
extension to reach to<br />
your feet easier.<br />
Supine spinal twist pose<br />
Stretches the spine, hips, legs and shoulders. Pulling your knees into<br />
your chest, release them both towards one side whilst extending<br />
your left arm to the opposite side and pressing the shoulder down.<br />
Reclining bound angle pose<br />
Stretches the inner thighs, groin, and<br />
knees. Lying down on your back, bring<br />
the soles of your feet together, allow your<br />
knees to drop and relax the spine. An<br />
alternative would be strapping the legs,<br />
and recline on to a bolster.<br />
