ALIGNMENT

Using a wall for support if needed. Place your hands on your mat shoulder width apart, wrists parallel. Press down evenly through your hands and root down, lengthen up to your shoulders.

Stack your shoulders over the heels of your hands. Gaze to the ground between your hands, walk your feet in, bend your left leg, lift your right leg, 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. To come down, lower your legs down one at a time.
