Your left knee should remain on the ground behind you, with the top of your left foot pressing into the floor. Engage your glutes and gently press your hips forward to deepen the stretch in the front of your left hip. Keep your pelvis level and avoid overarching your lower back. Keep your torso upright, with your shoulders stacked over your hips. Avoid leaning too far forward or backward, maintaining a neutral spine position. You can place your hands on your right thigh for support, or if you prefer, raise your arms overhead, reaching towards the ceiling. Keep your shoulders relaxed away from your ears and your chest open. Hold the kneeling warrior lunge position for 20-30 seconds, breathing deeply and evenly.
