How to stretch well

How to do it well

  1. Ease into the position until you feel a mild stretch — never pain.

  2. Breathe out as you go in, and keep breathing slowly through the hold.

  3. Hold for 30–45 seconds without bouncing.

  4. Switch sides, and stretch after training, when you're warm.
