Conseils techniques
Bend one knee and bring it towards your chest, using your hands to gently pull it closer. Your other leg should remain flat on the ground. Make sure not to jerk or force your knee towards your chest; the movement should be slow and controlled. A common mistake is to pull the knee too hard, which can lead to knee or lower back injuries.
Remember to breathe regularly and deeply during the exercise. Inhale as you bring your knee towards your chest and exhale as you release it. Holding your breath can increase your blood pressure and decrease the effectiveness of the stretch.
