Sit on the floor with your knees out to the sides. Lean onto the left hip to bring the right leg around so the foot is behind you. Adjust so both the front and back legs are bent at 90 degrees. Just to check, extend your right arm straight out from your body: it should line up with your right thigh. The left knee should be in line with the left shoulder when your torso is forward. Keep both feet flexed but don't tense the ankles.
Hold yourself upright in this position for 30 to 60 seconds, or begin to lean forward over the front knee if you have the flexibility. Switch sides.
