Begin standing in the center of your yoga mat facing the short edge. Place your feet hip’s width apart. Let your arms rest easily at your side. Press your feet firmly into the ground. Squeeze your thighs toward one another as you lift them toward your hips. Lengthen your spine and engage your core as you inhale.

Begin in a low lunge with the right leg forward and back knee resting on the floor. Rest the fingertips on the floor. Move the hands back as you extend the right leg forward. Rest the right heel on the floor and flex the foot. Try to keep the hips in line with the back knee. Exhale and fold the torso forward. Breathe while holding the pose.
