How to do this pose:
(Always be sure to
check with your Dr before performing this or any other new exercise
especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure,
neck problems or are pregnant)
1.
Stand with your spine lengthened and your shoulders relaxed.
2.
Inhale & step your right foot
forward and bend your right knee as you reach the arms overhead.
Slide the shoulders downward towards your hips.
3.
Allow the left leg to straighten and with your left heel lifted
off the floor and your feet parallel, lengthen your left leg all
the way through the left heel. Breathe each breath in through
the nose and visualize the breath traveling all through the left
hip and out through the heel.
4.
Draw your hands together, then
in front of your heart. Continue to lengthen through the spine.
5.
Gently rotate to the right,
from the pelvis through the top of your head. Bring the left elbow
to the outside of the right thigh and press elbow gently into
the thigh as you continue to lengthen through the spine and rotate.

When you are ready to come out of
this pose, gently lift the torso up to center. Gently switch sides.
