• Begin on your mat in Downward Facing Dog pose. Step your right foot forward between your hands, and rise up into Warrior 1.
• Now open your hips, arms, and chest into Warrior 2 pose.
• Place your right hand on the ground behind your right foot (on the little toe side). If your hips are tight, place your hand on a block. Extend your left arm straight up, turning your palm down so your thumb is pointing behind you. This will help intensify the stretch in your chest and shoulder.
• Stay here for five breaths, then come back to Down Dog. Then try this pose on the left side.
