Preparation
A Side Angle Stretch helps in toning up your ankles, knees and thighs, and reducing fat around the waist and hips. Let's look at the steps: Stand erect with feet more than shoulder width apart. This is the starting position.
Method
Step 1
Turn the left foot to the left side
Step 2
Inhale, bend your left knee and place your left elbow on the thigh
Step 3
Lean forward, so that you left thigh is parallel to the floor
Step 4
Exhale, extend your right arm over the ear until you form a straight line from the tips of your fingers to the toes
Step 5
Look to your right side and hold the posture for 5 breaths
Step 6
Inhale, release the right hand to the back
Step 7
Exhale, and return to the starting position
Step 8
Repeat on the other side
Step 9
And that's how you do a Side Angle Stretch
Step 10
Precautions: People with Pelvic pain and lower back problems should not practice this posture.
