breathe deeply throughout<\/a>. If this is too difficult to do, try drawing one leg into your chest at a time, keeping the other leg extended out straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSupine Hamstring Stretch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Lie on your back and bend both of your knees, planting your feet flat on the floor or your mattress. Press your left foot into the floor\/mattress as you extend your right foot toward the ceiling. The sole of your foot should be parallel to the ceiling. Clasp your hands behind your right thigh or calf and gently pull your leg closer to your chest. A slight bend in your right leg is fine, but try your best to keep it straight. You should feel a stretch along your right hamstring. If grasping behind your leg is too difficult, place a towel around the ball of your right foot and grab each end of the towel to pull your leg to feel a stretch. Hold this position for 30 to 60 seconds and then repeat on the other leg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy Baby<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Lie on your back and bend both of your knees, planting your feet on the floor or mattress. Draw your knees into your chest at a 90-degree angle. As you flex your feet toward the ceiling, reach your hands through your legs to grab the outside of each foot. Spread your knees apart, drawing them closer to your armpits, and rock from side to side for about one minute. If you do this on the floor, the rocking motion will help gently massage your lower back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figure Four Stretch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Lie on your back and bend both of your knees, planting your feet on the floor or mattress. Cross your right ankle over your left thigh, just above the knee, and use your hand to gently press your right knee away from your chest. Reach your hands behind your left leg and pull it closer to your chest. You should feel a stretch along your right gluteus and hamstring. Hold for 30 seconds before returning to the starting position to repeat on the other leg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supine Butterfly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Lie on your back and bend both of your knees, planting your feet on the floor or mattress. Bring your feet together and then let your knees open out to the sides, creating the butterfly position. If gravity creates the stretch, then you can just let your legs be, but you can gently press on your inner thighs to deepen the stretch. Bring the soles of your feet together and remain in this position for 30 seconds.<\/p>\n
