Instructions

Setup

  • Begin in a tabletop position on your yoga mat, with your hands placed directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.

  • Keep your spine neutral and engage your core to stabilize your pelvis.

Execution

  • Extend one leg fully behind you, touching your toes to the floor.

  • Keeping the leg straight, lift it and initiate an arc motion, sweeping the foot up and over to tap the floor on the outside of your resting leg.

  • Continue the movement by lifting the leg again and sweeping it back across to the starting side, tracing a rainbow-like arc in a controlled manner.

  • Focus on using your glutes to drive the lift rather than momentum.

  • Maintain a stable upper body and minimal arching in your lower back throughout the movement.
