- Begin by sitting upright with your legs outstretched in front of you and spread as wide as is comfortable. Bend your left knee and bring your left foot in towards your torso until the heel is snug against your groin and the sole rests against your right thigh.
- Lean your torso to the right until the back of your right shoulder presses against your right knee and your right forearm rests on the floor on the inside of your right leg. Rest your right hand next to your right foot with the palm facing up. Turn your right hand and grasp your foot so that the fingers are on the sole and the thumb on the top.
- Inhale and lift your left hand straight up into the air. Sweep it over your head and grasp your right foot. Turn your head so that you are looking up towards the sky.
- Hold for about a minute. Switch sides and repeat.
- Breathe deeply through each step.
- Keep your knee straightened and your thigh pressed to the ground throughout.
