Form tips

  • Keep your raised leg at hip height or lower if needed. Maintain level hips and avoid rotation.
  • Keep your hips level… quiet and still.
  • Breathe slowly… let your body be one long line.

Make it easier

If your wrists need a rest, lower your knees and lift your leg from there.

Coming out of it

Lower your foot… bring your knees down… and rest back.

Muscles it works

Move slowly and stop if anything hurts. This is general guidance, not medical advice; check with a professional if you're injured or recovering.
