Step 1
Starting on all fours on a yoga mat, ensure that your knees are below your hips and your hands are below your shoulders. Set your spine in a neutral position and draw your shoulder blades down and back. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Exhale, gently draw your ribs to your hips to engage your core. While keeping your knee bent, release and elevate your right leg out to the side, ensuring that your hips and shoulders remain parallel to (in line with) the floor.
Step 3
Inhale. Lower your right leg to return to the starting position, but without resting your knee on the mat. Complete half of the specified repetitions on the same side, before repeating the remaining repetitions on the other side.
