Things You'll Need:
- Yoga mat

Step 1
Start in a mountain pose. Place your feet about 4-feet apart. Lift your arms so that they are parallel to the floor with your palms facing the floor. Turn your left foot slightly inward and rotate your right foot 90-degrees outward and to the right, facing forward. Bend your right leg so that it creates a right angle and the right thigh is parallel to the floor. Remember to keep your left leg straight and the outer edge of that foot should remain pressed to the floor.
-
Step 2
Place your right palm on the outside of the right foot. Extend your left arm over the left ear with your palm facing downward. Remember to keep your neck extended to avoid injury. Rotate your torso up and towards the sky.
-
Step 3
Bring your right hand up off of the floor. Take your right arm underneath the right thigh and meet your left hand behind your back.
-
Step 4
Hold the left wrist with the right hand. Work to straighten the left arm behind your back.
-
Step 5
Open the chest up toward the sky and look upward. Hold that spot for a few breaths then release.
