Trainer:Kelsey Wells

  1. Start by lying flat on your back on a yoga mat. Bend your knees and position your feet firmly on the mat, ensuring that they are hip-width apart and your spine is in a neutral position. Allow your arms to rest by your sides on the mat. This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. While maintaining a neutral spine and gently drawing your ribs to your hips to engage your core, elevate your right foot off the mat slightly.
  3. Exhale. Straighten your knee to extend your leg along the floor, ensuring that your toes remain pointed and that you continue to draw your ribs towards your hips.
  4. Inhale. Bend your right knee to draw your leg inwards.
  5. Exhale. Lower your right foot to return to the starting position.
  6. Inhale. While maintaining a neutral spine and drawing your ribs towards your hips, elevate your left foot off the mat slightly.
  7. Exhale. Straighten your knee to extend your leg along the floor, ensuring that your toes remain pointed and that you continue to draw your ribs towards your hips.
