How to do it
- Roll out a mat or use a soft rug.
- Stand by a wall and gently stretch each calf for 30 seconds.
- Lie down and hug one knee at a time towards your chest.
- Let your knees fall slowly from side to side.
- Finish lying still with a few slow breaths.
Easier version
Do the knee hugs and side-to-side movements in bed.
Safety note
Stop if it hurts; gentle beats intense. If you have a heart, joint or circulation condition, check with your doctor first.
Why women include it
Many women use gentle yoga to mark the end of the day or to start it calmly. Some say their legs feel looser afterwards.
