Starting position: Stand tall, then step your left foot forward into a long lunge position with your right knee hovering just above the ground and arms at your sides. Execution: Hold this static position while engaging your left quadriceps to support your body weight, maintaining proper alignment throughout the hold.

Find your pose

  1. 01From a standing position, step one foot back into a lunge.
  2. 02Bend your front knee to 90 degrees over the ankle.
  3. 03Raise your arms overhead with palms facing each other.
  4. 04Lift your chest and gaze forward or slightly up.

Keep in mind

  • Keep your front knee aligned over the ankle.
  • Engage your back leg and press through the ball of the back foot.
  • Square your hips toward the front of the mat.

Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. Seek guidance from a qualified professional if you have an injury or health condition.
