Start with your legs at least three feet apart. Turn the right foot out to the right. Turn the left foot in to the right. Keep both knees straight. Keep your hips squared to the right. On an inhale lift the chest, on the next exhale bend forward over the right leg. Press both feet evenly into the ground in order to maintain balance. Lengthen your spine as much as possible as you try to bring the crown of your head towards your right toes. Maintain firmness in the legs as you lift the head and inhale to come out of the pose. Now switch your feet and take the left side. This pose stretches hamstrings, develops muscles in thighs, strengthens knees and ankles and increases length in spine. |
