- Start in the warrior pose (point 3), but avoid lunging onto your leg.
- With the outside of your left foot, touch the bottom of your right foot.
- Reach up to the sky with your other hand, shift your head to look above your hand to the ceiling, and extend your back.
- Hold the stretch for a few seconds before switching sides.
This pose is particularly beneficial for achieving a full body stretch; it strengthens the spine, calves, elbows, and ankles, as well as relieving back pain. This pose is especially good for pregnant women.
