From Downward Facing Dog, bring your right knee toward your right wrist and then lower your left knee down to the floor. The right toes will be pointing back toward the left hip. For a deeper stretch you can bring the foot forward a little bit more, so you get more, the shin more parallel to the front edge of the mat. Again, that's a deeper stretch. So let's start here, toes just straight back by the hip, fold forward. Taking a few more breaths, allow yourself to soften into the pose. So sometimes commitment, even the commitment to opening means to actually surrender. Being committed to just let whatever you feel just be. Then inhaling, place your hands, lift more upright, then step back to Downward Facing Dog. Pause to appreciate the difference, and with your inhalation, take the left knee to the left wrist, the left toes will point back to the right hip. You can even walk the right leg back a little bit longer. And notice that the pelvis is more level and square so that I'm not leaning to the right. I'm also not leaning to the left, but I'm staying level and square in the hips. That'll give you the best stretch. And fold forward. And with your next inhalation, place your palms and lift yourself back to Downward Facing Dog.
