How to do the Seated Knee-to-Chest Stretch

1. Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Lift one knee and wrap your hands around your shin or the back of your thigh.
3. Gently hug the knee toward your chest while keeping your back tall.
4. Hold for a few breaths, then lower the foot and switch sides.

Tips

• Bring your knee toward your chest rather than rounding down to meet it.

Adjustments

• Hold behind your thigh instead of your shin if your knee feels tight.
