2. Bend the right leg to bring your right foot by your left thigh.

3. Slide the left foot back, extending your leg fully. Your right foot is half way between your left hand and thigh.

4. Bringing your hands closer to your body, find your balance so your back and face are upright. Hold the position while taking three normal breath cycles.
