How to do the Half Split Stretch

1. Start in a low lunge with your back knee on the floor and hands beside your front foot.
2. Shift your hips back over your back knee and straighten your front leg.
3. Flex your front foot so the toes point up and hinge forward from your hips with a long spine.
4. Breathe slowly and let your hamstrings soften with each exhale.

Tips

• Keep your hips stacked over the back knee rather than drifting forward.

Adjustments

• Place blocks under your hands or keep a slight bend in the front knee if your hamstrings feel tight.
