Place hands beside hips. Push backwards until tailbone touches wall. Extend and straighten left leg on mat. Place strap around ball of left foot. Hold strap with both hands.
Inhale, lift chest, and press entire back against wall. Exhale, pull back on strap, tighten front thigh muscles, and flex left foot. Concentrate on elongating spine up wall while stretching back of left leg.
