Why I Do it: This is an even deeper hip and glute stretch that I like to hold for twice as long.
- Sit with both legs in front of you.
- Bend your right knee, so your shin is parallel with your body. Bend your left leg and stack your left knee on top of your right ankle, and your left ankle above your right knee. The shins should be parallel. Flex both feet.
- Sit up tall or fold forward to increase the stretch. Hold Double Pigeon for 10 breaths (a full minute) on this side and then repeat this stretch with your left shin on top.
