If the new yoga challenge, Standing Hand to Big Toe A, is too hard to do on your own, then get a friend to help.
If you face someone doing this pose, your partner can help you stay balanced and stretch out your hamstring even deeper than you could on your own.
Here's how to get into it:
- Stand facing your partner, about 3 feet apart. Partner 1 lifts their right leg up and Partner 2 grabs onto it with both hands.
- Then Partner 2 lifts their right leg up and Partner 1 holds onto it.
- Communicate with your partner - say "Stay right there," or "Not so high," or "You can lift higher."
- Try to work on standing straight, keeping your torso in line with your standing leg. Stay here for 5 breaths or more and then gently lower your partner's leg down to the ground. Now do the other side.
That's all there is to it. Feel free to share pictures of you doing this pose alone or with a partner in the YOGA CHALLENGE group. Post your pictures here. If you're not sure how, then read this explanation.

Nearly every pose can be combined or assisted with a partner. This is how we keep our marriage hot.
