How to:
Position yourself as in Tadasana. Then exhale and lightly jump or step your feet within three to four feet in distance. Lift your hands parallel to floor and move them actively outwards with your palms down and shoulder blades widened. Turn your left foot towards right slightly and your right foot rightwards perpendicularly. Then align your right heel in accordance with your left heel. Keep your thighs firm and turn the right-thigh outwards such that the central portion of the kneecap is in line with the central portion of the right ankle. Proceed to roll left side of the hip forward slightly towards right-side but turn your chest back towards left.
Then, anchor the back heel to ground by raising inner leftmost groin deeper into the pelvis. Proceed to exhale and turn your rightmost knee over the right ankle such that shin is ninety degrees to the ground.
Maintain your shoulder blades firm against the back-portion of ribs. Then, extend your left-arm upwards towards the ceiling turning the left-palm facing towards your head. Now inhale and try reaching your arm over back of left ear with your palms facing the ground.
As you do this, exhale and place your right part of torso onto upper part of right thigh. Then, press your right palm onto the floor, that is, outside your right foot. Proceed to push your right knee back against inner arm. Oppose this by setting tailbone into your pelvis back portion towards the pubis. Make sure to see that your right thigh is parallel with longest edge of the sticky mat.
Remain in this position for thirty seconds to one minute. Now inhale to rise up. Proceed to push both the heels onto the floor. In addition to this, reach left arm towards ceiling forcefully to lighten upward movement. Now reverse feet and proceed to do the same for equal duration of time on the left feet too. Then, return back to the Tadasana position.
