Starting Position: Begin in Tadasana. Step your left foot back about 3-4 feet, turning your left foot out to a 45-60 degree angle.
Hip Alignment: Square your hips as much as possible towards the front of the mat. This might mean adjusting the angle of your back foot or the distance between your feet.
Front Leg: Bend your right knee directly over your right ankle, aiming for your thigh to be parallel to the floor. Ensure your knee doesn't go past your ankle.
Back Leg: Keep your left leg strong and straight, pressing down through the outer edge of your left foot.
Torso: Inhale and sweep your arms overhead, palms facing each other or together. Keep your shoulders relaxed down away from your ears.
Spine: Lengthen your spine, lifting through your chest. Avoid crunching into your lower back; engage your core.
Gaze: Gaze forward or slightly up towards your hands.
Breathing: Breathe deeply and powerfully.
Hold: Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Release: Exhale, lower your arms, straighten your front leg, and step your left foot forward to return to Tadasana. Repeat on the other side.
