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. Square your hips to the right. Stretch your arms over your head and lift your sternum. Keep the right knee over the right foot. Exhale as you bend the right knee to 90 degrees. Make sure your back leg remains straight. Hold for at least 30 seconds then inhale to come up. Now switch your feet and take the left side. This pose is great for strengthening the knees, especially as you maintain alignment of the foot, knee and hip. It also brings increased circulation to the hip joints. Increases will power and determination. |
