The basic instructions for this difficult posture include keeping the legs as straight as possible as you work-even if this means using a strap. Be sure to ground the 'down' leg and to make a great effort to lift your torso away from the ground. Continue to work to straighten and lengthen both legs as you take the leg to side. It is necessary to be patient and thus not to hurry as you execute each phase of this posture.
