2. Hook one thumb around your pinky toe and your other thumb around your big toe and wrap your fingers around the sole. (Don't worry, you can bend your knee if necessary)
3. Gently squeeze your sole to flex your feet and at the same time press your thumbs away from each other to gently pull your toes apart.
