One Legged Chin Stand
STEPS : Begin in Plank Pose and slowly move down into Chaturanga. From there, lower your chin to the mat and keep your arms at a 90-degree angle. Move your hands closer to your torso and push the ground firmly with your hands. Keep the elbows close to the ribs. Place your torso on the back of the arms to shift the weight to the arms. Then lift your right leg into the air. Once you find your balance, lift the other legs. Activate the legs and bring them together to help you with stability and balance. Hold for 3 to 5 breaths. Release slowly and with control.
