Step 2

<b>Step 2</b> In this version, continue by moving your left shoulder blade down toward the inside of your left thigh. Reach over with your right hand and grasp your left toes. Look to the ceiling from under your right arm. Keep both arms bent as you lengthen the side of your waist, moving your head closer to your left shin. Hold this position deeply for 20 to 30 seconds. Release; repeat on the other side.
