- Begin at the back of your space
with your feet hip width apart - hands on your hips.
- On an exhale, take a giant step
forward with the right leg.
- Begin to bend the right knee to a
90 degree angle. Note: make sure the knee is aligned over
the ankle and shin is straight up and down
- Charge the back leg by lifting the
front of the thigh up towards the sky while you root the tailbone
down.
- Front leg is relax and extending
down in to the bone of the right leg.
- Isometrically press both feet into
the ground and engage the muscles of the inner thighs - as if you
were to "scissor" your legs together, but without
physically moving them.
- Left arms reaches across the right
leg and is placed on the outside of the right foot. Note:
If this is challenging, use a block (see image below).
- Right arm reaches up into the sky.

meet the front and repeat on other side.
