So don’t forget to put equal body pressure on both your legs. Now turn your right foot out so that it creates a 90-degree angle and turn the left foot out as well to form a suitable 15-degree angle.Proper inhaling and exhaling will be required for making this posture successful. Now put the center of right feet in proper alignment with the center of your arch. You will have to make sure both your feet are equally pressing the ground and that your body is balanced.

Now, take a deep breath and bend your body to your right, by keeping the waist straight by allowing the left hand to come up so that your hand comes down towards the floor.
