How to do the Seated Gate Pose

1. Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Extend one leg out to the side with the knee straight and the foot flat or the heel on the floor.
3. Rest your hand on the extended leg and reach your other arm up overhead.
4. Lean gently over the extended leg, hold for a few breaths, then switch sides.

Tips

• Keep your chest facing forward and lengthen before you lean.

Adjustments

• Keep a slight bend in the extended knee if the stretch along your inner thigh feels strong.
