Low Lunge
GOAL: Improve hip extension and create length through the front and lateral hip.
Set up: Begin in a half-kneeling position with one foot forward and the opposite knee supported on a mat or pad. Keep your front foot grounded, pelvis facing forward and ribs stacked over your hips.
Move into the lunge: Gently lengthen your tailbone down and shift your pelvis forward until you feel a comfortable stretch through the front of your back hip.
Add the arm: Reach the arm on the kneeling-leg side up and over to the opposite side to increase the length through the front and side of your hip and trunk.
Breathe: Take slow breaths into your ribs without arching your lower back, rotating your pelvis or forcing the range.
Return: Come back to centre, lower your arm and change sides.
