Side-Lying Floor Stretch Left

Muscles worked: Back

Side-Lying Floor Stretch Left is a gentle stretch done lying on your left side on the floor, letting the body open and lengthen along the side.

Lie comfortably, breathe slowly, and let gravity do the work rather than pulling yourself into the position. Hold the stretch at a mild tension — you should feel a gentle pull, not pain — and repeat on the right side.

1. Lie on your left side on the floor in a comfortable position.
2. Let your body open and lengthen along the side.
3. Breathe slowly and let gravity do the work rather than pulling yourself into the position.
4. Hold at a mild tension — a gentle pull, not pain — and repeat on the right side.
