ALIGNMENT

Using a wall for support if needed. From kneeling, place your forearms parallel on the ground, shoulder width apart. Press down through your forearms, lengthen up to your shoulders, broaden your collarbones.

Gaze between your forearms, walk your feet forward. Bend your left leg, lift your right leg up and press out through the heel. Spring your right leg up overhead, follow with the left leg, reach your legs up high, draw your navel towards your spine. Hug your outer hips and inner thighs to midline, press through the balls of your feet, reach your tailbone up to your heels. To come down, slowly bend your knees and lower your feet to the ground.
