This stretch is traditional, which is great to improve your lower back, hip, flexibility of your thigh , shoulder, arm muscles and trunk rotation.
Sit on the floor with extended legs in front of you, cross your left leg over your right and make sure your right leg is straight. Bring your right arm elbow across your body and press it against the outer side of your bend leg. Now you should feel a stretch around the hip, rotate your body around so that you feel more stretch, but do not go over your comfort level.
Hold it for 20 to 30 seconds and breath in and out slowly and then do the opposite side.
