- From Adho Mukha Svanasanastep the right foot forward so the toes are in line with the fingertips
- Bend until the front knee creates a right angle with the thigh parallel to the floor and the knee stacked over the ankle
- Place the left knee on the floor and point the left toes straight back
- Descend the tailbone and come on to the fingertips
- Extend the sternum forward and broaden the collarbones
- Pin the right outer hip back and in towards the left foot while keeping the right knee stacked over the right heel and pointed directly forward
- Emphasize a posterior pelvic tilt by continuing to drop the tailbone to the floor and drawing the pubis toward the navel
- Reinforce this work by rooting down with the front heel to create a lift in the pit of the abdomen, moving the low belly back and up away from the front thigh –maintain a right angle in the front knee
- Hold for 5 to10 breaths, then step back to Adho Mukha Svanasana and repeat on the other side
