## Technique
1. From a standing position, hinge at the right hip to extend the upper body forward, and extend the left leg back.
2. Reach the arms back at first, keeping the head in line with the spine.
3. After a few breaths balancing there, sweep the arms forward to extend from the shoulders and hold for a few more breaths.
4. Repeat on the other side.
