Psoas Stretch in Lunge With Overhead Reach
Take a long lunge with one leg back and the other forward; raise the arm on the same side as the back leg overhead; turn the palm parallel to the ceiling/sky and rotate so the pinky turns toward the head. Hold 5–10 seconds while breathing normally, then switch sides. Intended to stretch the psoas and create a sense of spinal lengthening/open hips.

“Here's the protocol that I do believe everyone can benefit from... which is essentially to do what looks like a warrior two position in yoga. So you're essentially doing a lunge... and then you're going to take the hand on the same side as the leg that's extended behind you, reach that toward the ceiling.”
