From Extended Squat, place your hands shoulder-width distance apart on the mat. Spread your fingers as wide as you can, creating a strong, stable base.
Straighten your legs slightly, placing your knees as high up onto your triceps (back of your arms) as possible. Slowly shift the weight into your palms and lift your feet off the ground. Touch the toes together and squeeze the knees in to help you stay balanced and to give you more lift.
Stay here for five breaths, gazing at the floor in front of you.
Step or hop the feet back, and find your way into Downward Facing Dog. Repeat this sequence on the left side.
