How to practice
Stand tall and reach both arms overhead. Shift your weight into one foot, then hinge forward as the other leg extends straight back. Reach through your fingertips and heel, keep the hips level, and breathe smoothly.
Benefits
Strengthens the standing leg, hips, and back while developing balance and whole-body coordination.
Who should avoid or modify
- Use a wall or chair for balance. Keep a soft standing knee and lower the lifted leg if the lower back strains.
