- Keep your left leg forward (with the outside of this leg resting on the mat) and extend your right leg to the back of your mat, with the top of your right foot resting on the floor. Feel an opening in the right hip and left hip flexor, but not so much that you feel pain.
- Rest your hands on your hips or inhale to raise the arms in the air, gazing at the palms with relaxed shoulders.
- Breathe deeply for (at least) 10 breaths.
- Then, place your hands on the ground and hold Downward Dog for five breaths, before stepping your right leg forward for Pigeon on the other side.
