Lie on your back and take your knees wide so your feet are wider than the width of your mat. Drop your right knee into the centre, rotating it from the hip joint and bending your knee slightly, and turning your left knee to the side.

Your right knee should be in line with the centre line of your body. Then with your left hand above your head place your left hand on to the right side of your ribcage and take some deep breath, focusing on breathing into the right side.

Once you feel your ribs expanding more into the right as you breathe in, start to create the stretch by drawing your tummy in, from your sternum down to your belly button as you breathe out. Use your left hand to tease your hips down and away from your ribs, keeping your ribcage on the floor at all times.

At the end focus on pressing your right knee further towards the floor.

Repeat that six to eight times and change sides.

Remember:Use slow deep breaths

If you feel any pressure on the knee on the stretched side, use a rolled up towel under your knee for support.
