How to perform it

Lie on your side with your legs straight and your bottom arm extended straight overhead. Bend your top knee and place your foot on the ground in front of your bottom leg. Reach your top arm over your head and grab onto something stable, like a wall or a piece of furniture. Slowly lift your bottom leg off the ground, keeping it straight, until you feel a stretch in your side. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, then slowly lower your leg back down. Repeat on the other side.
