How to do the Lizard Pose

1. Start in tabletop, then step one foot outside the same-side hand.
2. Lower your hips toward the floor and extend the back leg straight behind you, knee and top of the foot resting on the mat.
3. Keep your chest lifted as you breathe into the stretch.

Tips

• Let your hips relax and sink toward the floor.
• Lift the back knee and come onto forearms for more intensity when you are ready.

Adjustments

• Use yoga blocks under your hands if the floor feels far away.
