Drop Leg with Arm Raised

Setup

1. Lie flat on your back on a yoga mat.

2. Extend your legs straight up toward the ceiling.

3. Straighten your arms and reach them directly toward the ceiling, keeping them in line with your shoulders.

Execution

1. Engage your core by pressing your lower back firmly into the mat.

2. While maintaining a neutral spine and keeping your arms steady in the air, slowly lower both of your legs toward the floor.

3. Lower your legs only as far as you can control without allowing your lower back to arch off the mat.

4. Once you reach your maximum comfortable range, slowly return your legs to the starting position.

5. Keep your breathing steady throughout the movement.
