Place right toes to wall. Stretch left leg back 4 feet. Lift left heel, come onto ball of foot, and move left hip slightly forward until both hips are parallel to wall.
Place fingertips on wall in line with shoulders. Inhale and lift chest. Exhale and bend right knee until thigh and shin form a right angle.
Tuck tailbone firmly to lessen lower back arch. Push away from wall and stretch breastbone toward ceiling. If balance is secure, raise both arms overhead.
To release, lower arms, and straighten right leg. Repeat pose with left leg to wall and right leg extended. After completing both sides, rest in upright position.
This posture stretches and strengthens thigh muscles and creates stamina.
