Standing Alternate Leg Stretch

Stand with back to wall. Place right heel to wall and take a 3-foot step forward with left foot. Align hips, lift thigh muscles, and point left toes straight forward.

Press palms together behind back. Rotate hands until fingers point upward. In-hale and straighten legs. Exhale, bend forward at hips, and keep back straight.

Tilt buttock bones upward and stretch breastbone forward until back is level with floor. Breathe normally and elongate spine with each exhalation.

Release and reverse legs. After completing both sides, rest with back to wall and arms relaxed at sides. 

This pose loosens tight shoulders and wrists, stretches leg muscles, and improves posture.
