Half-panel

After you've completed Warrior III, you can slowly lower your body into a push-up position, bending your elbows, keeping your shoulders aligned vertically with your hands, and your feet hip-width apart. Focus on keeping your hips and shoulders level while tightening your abs to draw your belly button toward your spine.

Downward Dog

After completing the half plank pose, straighten your elbows and lift your hips until your body forms a triangle with the ground. Keep your elbows slightly bent to avoid hyperextension. Press your heels down to stretch the muscles on the back of your legs. Hold this position for as long as possible.

Warrior Pose

After doing Downward Dog, step one foot forward and return to standing. Then extend your left leg back, turning your toes slightly out and bending your right knee so it is perpendicular to your heel. While keeping your hips and torso forward, finally bring your hands together and raise your arms forward and upward at about 45 degrees.

Then move to Warrior Pose, lowering your arms without bending your elbows, one arm forward and one arm back. Tighten your abdomen and straighten your pelvis. Be careful not to bend your front knee past your toes.

Then do Warrior II pose, straighten your right leg while bending your upper body, stretch your right arm toward the ground as far as possible, raise your left arm upward, and look toward the tip of your left hand.

Side Angle Stretch
