Triangle Pose

Stand with your feet wide, one foot turned out to face the front and the other angled slightly in. Hinge sideways from your hip over your front leg, keeping both legs straight, until your front hand can rest on your shin, a block, or the floor. Reach your other arm straight up so your shoulders stack vertically rather than your chest rolling toward the floor -- that rotation is what makes this a side stretch and not just a lean. Keep your torso in one long line rather than folding forward like a hamstring stretch. The stretch runs along your back leg's hamstring and up your side body. Switch sides after holding.
