It is a simple exercise where you need to bring your left foot forward between your hands and lower your right knee to the floor. Then we have to walk our left foot to the outer edge of your mat and place the elbows or forearms on a block or the floor and do it for 10 – 15 breaths.

2. Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)

We have to walk our feet to our hands like a downward facing dog. Then shift our feet hip width apart or even a little wider and bring a slight bend to your knees. We will loosely hold the opposite elbows and keep a relax grip in our hands or let our hands rest alongside our feet.
