Learning The Posture

Like many other postures we must first stand in "Tadasana". Use this as your foundation.


1) Take a breath and as you exhale, jump your feet about 5 feet apart. 


2) Keep your back foot (left) and your front foot (right) in alignment. You can look in a mirror or look at your body to be sure.


3) Maintain breathing.


4) Turn your left foot 90 degrees to your side and keep your right foot facing forward. Make sure that both heels of your feet are on the ground.


5) Raise your arms parallel to the floor so that your right arm is directly in front of you and your left arm is behind you. Then extend.


6) Exhale and bend your right knee over your ankle to create 90 degrees between your thigh, knee, and the ground.


7) Keep your back up straight and your tailbone tucked in.


8) Turn your head to the right and look out towards your right arm.


9) Hold the posture for 30 seconds to a minute.


10) Inhale to come up.
