susan	Partnering Have your partner stand facing your straight-leg side; in this example, we'll use the right leg. Inhale your right arm out to the side, parallel to the floor. Have your partner grasp your wrist and, at the same time, press the toes of his foot into your right groin. As you tip to the side, have your partner pull on the wrist and push on the groin. Lengthen out to the side, stretching the underside ribs and reaching the arm away from the deepening groin. When you reach your maximum stretch, have your partner let go. Then round yourself over to the side into the full pose. Partner standing will have hard time pressing toes into groin as he is standing. Maybe have partner's back against the wall for support?
