One-Legged Quarter Dog Pose

We're getting closer! This Quarter Dog variation will continue strengthening your arms and give you a sense of what it's like to balance more weight on your forearms.

From Quarter Dog, step both feet together so your big toes are touching. Keeping your shoulders parallel with the ground, slowly raise your right leg into the air. Continue pressing your left heel toward the floor, gazing between your hands.
After five breaths, switch sides, lifting the left leg. Then release, resting your arms in Child's Pose.
