Description Of Activity

Starting Position: Begin in Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) with your right foot forward.

Lift Back Leg: Shift your weight onto your right foot and right hand. Inhale and lift your left leg parallel to the floor, or slightly higher, with the foot flexed.
Open Hips: Stack your left hip directly over your right hip, opening your pelvis to the side.
Top Arm: Extend your left arm straight up towards the ceiling, aligning it with your left shoulder.
Body Alignment: Create a long, straight line from your left heel to your left fingertips. Keep both legs strong and active.
Gaze: Gaze down at the floor for more stability, or if balance allows, gaze forward or up towards your left thumb.
Breathing: Breathe smoothly and deeply.
Hold: Hold for 20-30 seconds.
Release: Exhale, slowly lower your left leg back to the floor, returning to Trikonasana or a standing position. Repeat on the other side.
