Description Of Activity
Starting Position: Begin in Tadasana. Step your feet wide apart, about 3.5-4 feet. Turn your right foot out 90 degrees, and slightly turn your left foot in (about 15 degrees).
Legs: Bend your right knee directly over your right ankle, aiming for your thigh to be parallel to the floor (as in Warrior II). Keep your back leg strong.
Arms: Extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
Lean & Support: Exhale, and lean your torso over your right leg. Place your right forearm on your right thigh (for a modified version) or your right hand on the floor or a block outside your right foot.
Top Arm: Inhale and extend your left arm straight up towards the ceiling, then sweep it over your head, parallel to your left ear. Your palm faces down.
Body Alignment: Create a long, straight line from the outer edge of your left foot all the way through your left fingertips. Rotate your chest towards the ceiling.
Gaze: Gaze up towards your left armpit, forward, or down at your front foot.
Breathing: Breathe deeply and steadily, feeling the stretch along your entire side body.
Hold: Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Release: Inhale, press through your feet, and use your core to lift back up. Straighten your front leg, turn your feet parallel, and repeat on the other side.
