How to do the Extended Side Angle Pose

1. Stand with your feet wide apart, front toes pointing forward and back foot turned slightly in.
2. Bend your front knee until it's stacked over your ankle, keeping your back leg straight.
3. Rest your front forearm on your thigh, or lower your hand to the floor or a block inside your front foot.
4. Sweep your top arm over your ear so you make one long line from your back heel to your fingertips.

Tips

• Press firmly through the outer edge of your back foot and roll your top shoulder open.

Adjustments

• Keep your forearm resting on your thigh instead of reaching to the floor if your hips or groin feel tight.
