- Begin in Downward Facing Dog pose. Step both feet together so your big toes are touching.
- Now move your left hand over to the right so it's at the center of your mat (still at the top of your mat).
- Roll over to your left side and plant your left heel down so you are balancing on the outside edge of your left foot. Stack your right foot on top of your right foot with both feet flexed. If this is too hard, bend your right knee and place your right foot flat on the ground in front of your left leg for support.
- Reach your right arm up above you and if you can, gaze up at your palm. Engage your left fingertips so you can take some pressure out of your wrists. Stay here for 30 seconds (five deep breaths), trying to keep your core strong and the pose steady.
- Release your right hand back to the mat, coming into a plank position (top of a push-up). Then repeat this pose on the right side for another 30 seconds.
