  • Hamstring stretch: Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Place the strap around the arch of your right foot and hold onto the ends of the strap with both hands. Inhale and straighten your leg as much as possible while keeping your back straight. Exhale and gently pull on the strap to deepen the stretch. Hold for a few breaths, then switch sides.
  • Shoulder stretch: Hold the strap with both hands, palms facing up, and bring your arms overhead. Keep your elbows straight, and your shoulders relaxed. Take a deep breath and stretch your arms upward, lengthening your spine. Exhale and gently pull the strap behind your head, stretching your shoulders and chest. Hold for a few breaths, then release.
  • Seated forward fold: Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Place the strap around the balls of your feet and hold onto the ends of the strap with both hands. Inhale and lengthen your spine. Exhale and gently pull on the strap to fold forward, keeping your back straight. Hold for a few breaths, then release.
  • Supported bridge pose: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor. Place the strap around the arches of your feet and hold onto the ends of the strap with both hands. Inhale and lift your hips off the floor, using the strap to support your legs. Hold for a few breaths, then release.
  • Bound angle pose: Sit on the floor with the soles of your feet together and your knees bent out to the sides. Place the strap around the balls of your feet and hold onto the ends of the strap with both hands. Inhale and lengthen your spine. Exhale and gently pull the strap to bring your feet closer to your body, deepening the stretch in your hips and inner thighs. Hold for a few breaths, then release.

Always listen to your body using a yoga strap, and never force yourself into a stretch. Start with a shorter strap length and gradually increase as you become more flexible. With regular practice, using a yoga strap can help you reach new levels of flexibility and deepen your yoga practice.
