Step
by Step
From Tadasana, bring your left knee
toward your belly.
Reach your left arm inside the thigh, cross it over
the front ankle, and hold the outside of your left
foot. If your hamstrings are tight, hold a strap looped
around the left sole.
Firm the front thigh muscles of the standing leg,
and press the outer thigh inward.
Inhale and extend the left leg forward. Straighten
the knee as much as possible. If you're steady, swing
the leg out to the side. Breathe steadily; breathing
takes concentration, but it helps you balance.
Hold for 30 seconds, then swing the leg back to
center with an inhale, and lower the foot to the floor
with an exhale. Repeat on the other side for the same
length of time. |
