  • Turn right food out 90degrees, turn left foot in about 30 degrees
  • Inhale, stretch arms out from shoulders. Hips forward. Bend right

fig 2:

  • Rest right arm on shin and extend your other arm toward the ceiling.  Look up at your thumb if you can do so without straining.

  • Strengthens the feet, ankles, and legs
  • Elongates the spine
