How to perform

Sit with legs extended. Pivot to form a 'Z' shape: front shin flat on the floor, knee forward; back knee pointing out to the side. Lower hips evenly, modifying by keeping the back leg forward if needed. Lift torso, maintain an open chest and tall spine. Breathe deeply and hold for 30-60 seconds, then switch sides.
