Supine hand to foot pose (Supta Padangusthasana I)

Using a strap, fifteen to twenty seconds, two times on each side. 

Start by lying on your back, with your knees bent and the soles of your feet on the floor. 

Next, bring your right leg into your chest, wrap a cotton yoga strap around the ball of your right foot, and hold the ends of the straps in both hands. 

Straighten your right leg and lift it up toward the ceiling and straighten your left leg along the ground. 

Press the ball of your right foot into the strap while creating resistance with your hands. 

The more you press your foot into the strap, the more you pull the belt toward you. 

Pull the outside of the belt a little more strongly than the inside (this helps open up the little toe side of the foot). 

Do twice on each side.
