Side Lunge - Skandasana

STEPS : Begin Skandasana by getting into the Prasarita Padottanasana (also known as the Wide-Legged Forward Bend). Now, bend your right knee and get into the half-squat position.  Meanwhile, keep your right leg straight and bend your foot in a way that your toes get lifted off the ground as you root into the left heel.  Pull your hips back, keep the spine straight, and root into the left heel.  If you want to balance your body, you can use your hands by keeping them on the floor. Alternatively, you can bend your elbows and get into the Anjali mudra pose.  Hold the Skandasana yoga pose for a few seconds and then gradually, get back to the central position where you started the asana.  This time, shift your body weight on the left leg and repeat the asana.
