Movement instructions

1
In a seated position, loop a belt, rope, or band around one foot. This will be your starting position.
2
With the leg extended and the heel off of the ground, pull on the belt so that the foot is inverted, with the inside of the foot being pulled towards you. Hold for 10-20 seconds, and then switch sides.

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.

General guidance matched from movement type and equipment; it is not individualized coaching or medical advice.
