Step-by-step instructions

  1. From plank, lower your right knee to the mat and roll onto your right hand and the outer side of that knee and shin.

  2. Position your supporting hand slightly forward of your shoulder and reach your left arm up toward the sky.

  3. Press evenly through your whole hand and keep a soft micro-bend in the elbow so your wrist and shoulder stay safe.

  4. Lift your hips and engage your side waist so your torso and top thigh form a steady diagonal line, breathing calmly.

  5. Stay for three to five breaths, then lower down and switch to the other side.
