Straight Leg Lunge

Straight Leg

© Barry Stone
Restraighten the back leg if you have dropped that knee to the floor. Slowly straighten the front leg as you forward bend over that leg. Try to keep the front foot flat on the floor and don't force the leg to come straight. Go back and forth between a bent and straight front leg several times.

Step back to Downward Dog, and then step the left foot forward next to the left hand and take the lunge on this side. Come back to Downward Dog.
