This gem relieves tension in the lower back and stretches out the muscles of the rear: the glutes. Start by lying on your back with both knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Cross the left foot over the right quad, just above the knee. This is enough of a stretch for some people, but if you need more, hold the back of your right thigh and gently pull it towards your chest until you feel a stretch. Focus on moving the left knee back away from you, but don't push it with your hand or elbow.
Hold for as long as is comfortable and switch sides.
