Side Lying Leg Lift Right Steps:
Steps 1: Lying on your side, check that your ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, and ears are aligned.
Steps 2: Move your legs slightly in front (forming this "banana shape" helps balance and protects your lower back).
Steps 3: Prop your head on your hand or stretch your bottom arm out to the side and rest your head on it. Your arm placement is just for balance; you should be engaging your core to lift your legs.
Steps 4: Pull your abdominal muscles in.
Steps 5: Inhale, allowing your body to elongate as the breath moves down the full length of your spine.
Steps 6: As you exhale, engage your abdominals and lift your legs a few inches off the mat.
Steps 7: Focus on keeping your inner legs together from your sit bones to your heels.
Steps 8: Inhale as you lower your legs back down to the mat, elongating your body in a controlled movement.
Steps 9: Aim for 5 to 8 reps, then turn to your other side and repeat.
