STEPS : From Tadasana step your left leg back, about 1 meter (3 to 4 feet), feet on two different train tracks, right foot facing forward, left foot slightly turned out. Keeping your hips facing the front of your mat. Make sure your knees point in the same direction as your toes. Ground through your feet, engage your legs and place your hands in reverse prayer behind your back. Inhale as you lengthen your spine, and exhale as you fold forward from the hips. Stop before your back begins to round. Roll your left thigh inward, while keeping your right hip back. Hold the pose for 5 to 10 deep breaths before repeating on the other side. To come out actively push through the back heel, engage the core and come up with a straight spine.
