Which side we should do first? Right or Left?

I do not know if you have a hip injury....but "cradle the baby" is a good prep. Sit in Dandasana, bend your right knee and rotate it out to the side like for Janu Sirsasana. Grab hold of your shin with both hands (palms under shin) and pull it toward your chest. Root your tailbone and lengthen the spine. Flex your foot and try to keep it from sickling. From here, you can experiment with moving the foot farther over to the left and see if it changes the stretch. If the shin is only a few inches from the chest, then wrap your arms around your leg, like your shin is a baby. The taller you sit, the better the stretch.
