Lengthen the hamstring on the left side with a strap, just lay right down on a comfortable
surface, and take the left foot up, and take that right around the ball of the foot. Equalize
the length of the strap, and take it around your left hand now, and wrap it around to
secure it. Your right foot stays flat on the floor to anchor that back right on the floor.
Your left toes come in toward you. You want to feel the lower back on the floor. Take
a deep breath in through your nose, and on the exhale, bring the straight leg in towards
you, without tightening those shoulders. Breathe in deep through your nose. Exhale. Just bring
that straight leg right in towards you. And another deep breath in, and exhale. Now, as
you do this, you can find yourself reaching up higher, but keep the toes coming in towards
you, the shoulders relaxed, and another deep breath in. Exhaling, bring that a little bit
deeper in towards you. And, as you keep edging that in towards you, keep your back in the
floor. One more time, deep breath in, and then exhale. Release. Come all the way down.
