Step 1
Lie flat on your back, and extend your legs straight to the ceiling, your feet flat and your heels together. Keep your arms fully extended and palms-down at your side, or behind your head.

Step 2
Inhale, and slowly push one leg to the floor. Keep your other leg extended straight up toward the ceiling.

Step 3
Stop your leg a few inches off the ground, or as low as you can go. Point your toes straight out, keeping your pelvis stable against the ground, your navel pressed back into your spine.
