Get on your yoga mat on all fours, with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Use knee pads under your knees for added support.
Place the resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees. Keep your back flat and your core gently engaged.
Keeping your knee bent, slowly lift one leg up and back, pushing your foot toward the ceiling. Keep your hips facing the floor.
Slowly lower your leg back down with control, keeping tension on the band. Repeat for your desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
Form cue: Knee bent, kick back, squeeze your glute, hips stay square.
Stop if you feel pain. This is general guidance, not medical advice.
