2. Initiate the Movement:

   • As you balance on your right leg, lift your left knee towards your chest.

   • Simultaneously, bend your body slightly to the right, creating an arc with your left arm reaching over your head.

3. Alternate Side:

   • Lower your left leg back down to the starting position.

   • Return to an upright position.

   • Repeat the movement on the opposite side: lift your right knee while bending your body to the left, and reach your right arm over your head.

   • Continue alternating sides for 10-15 repetitions on each leg.

5. Tips:

   • Keep your movements controlled and maintain your balance.

   • Focus on engaging your core muscles for stability.
