Lie on your back as close as you can to the wall; you want your bum against the wall.
Lengthen your legs upward with your heels resting on the wall. Separate your feet and slide your legs down the wall toward the ground, coming into a straddle position.
Hold this position for two to three minutes or longer, if needed.
When you're ready to get out of the stretch, slide your legs together (or push them together if that's easier). Draw your knees into your chest and roll to one side.
