• Align the centre of your right heel with that of your left feet.
• Your body weight is balanced equally by both the feet.
• Take a deep breath and bend towards your right side so that your right hand touched the ground and left hand is above your head.

• Depending on your comfort level stay in this pose for about 10 to 30 seconds.
• Relax and get back to standing position.
