Instructions:

1. Standing upright, bend one knee behind your body, grasping your foot with the hand from the same side.
2. If helpful, use your free arm to brace yourself against a wall or other support for balance.
3. Gently pull your foot towards the glutes, bringing it as close as you can without overstretching and causing pain.
