Movement instructions

1
Lie on your back with your knees bent and the soles of the feet pressed together. Have your partner hold your knees. This will be your starting position.
2
Attempt to squeeze your knees together, while your partner prevents any movement from occurring.
3
After 10-20 seconds, relax your muscles as your partner gently pushes your knees towards the floor. Be sure to inform your helper when the stretch is adequate to prevent injury or overstretching.

Technique guidance

Breathe slowly and evenly. Exhale as you ease into a comfortable range, and never use the breath to force a deeper position.

Use only a comfortable range; a stretch may feel like tension but should not feel sharp or joint-specific.
Come out of the position slowly and use support when balance is limited.
Inspect the implement and clear its movement path before starting.
