Dancer Pose

Your standing leg is the anchor, straight and locked in. Lean your torso forward from your hip, lift one leg behind you, and reach your arms forward or grab your lifted foot to deepen the position. Your body forms a long line from your head to your lifted knee. The stretch opens through the hip flexor and quadriceps of your lifted leg, while your standing leg works hard to keep you upright. Push your lifted foot gently into your hands to feel the full range. Hold and breathe.
