1. Set up in a quadruped position with your hands directly beneath your shoulders, knees underneath your hips, and toes tucked.
2. Straighten one leg and cross it behind your body at a 45-degree angle.
3. Exhale, sit back into the flexed hip, and stretch the corresponding glute as the leg is externally rotated.
4. Repeat on the opposite side for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:  

1. Keep your breathing calm and relaxed as you sit back into the hip.
2. Experiment with rotating the leg to different positions in order to decrease or increase the stretch within the glutes.
