ELEVATED PIGEON STRETCH

This is a stretch for the front leg’s glutes. Rotate your front thigh so that the knee faces outwards from the body and keep the shin planted on a bench. Have the other leg straight out behind you. Drop the hip towards the ground and support your body with your hands. Keep the spine neutral to isolate the stretch to the hips. Take 3-5 deep breaths or hold for 20-30 seconds and switch sides.
