From your Tadasana, now you can step your left foot back. The right foot stays forward. Separate your feet as wide apart as you need to to help you keep your hips, your pelvis squaring forward. And draw your arms out to the side. And then take the hands behind the back either holding the elbows or coming into a reverse prayer position with the hand. Keep your chest open on the inhale. On the exhale, begin to extend your spine, lengthening it forward. So this is a great stretch for your front outer hip. You want to work on drawing the thigh bone back towards the hip joint, the out hip joint crease comes back, chest stays open. Inhale, then exhale, press through your feet to the floor to lift back up.
