A challenging balance posture that builds full-body integration. It requires the stability of a standing pose, the core strength of a plank, and the focused mind of a warrior.
Balance on one leg, torso parallel to the floor.
Form a 'T' shape with the body.
Keep hips level and square.
Root through all four corners of the standing foot.
Micro-bend the standing knee to avoid locking the joint.
Flex the lifted foot and point the toes toward the floor.
Reach the arms forward (or heart center) to counteract the weight of the leg.
Draw the navel in to support the lower back.
