Lizard Pose to Half Split
- From Downward Dog, lift your right leg back behind you to come into Three-Legged Dog.
- Bring your right foot to the outside of your right hand to come into Lizard pose. Keep both hands flat on the ground, and balance on your left toes.
- Set your left knee down, and extend your left foot so the top of your foot is against the ground.
- Walk your hands backward, and shift your hips backward until they're just above your left foot. You should feel a stretch through your right hamstring. If you can't reach the ground with your hands, place your hands on yoga blocks or books.
- Hold for a few seconds.
- Slide your hips and hands forward to come back to Lizard pose.
- Push into your palms, flex your left foot, and lift your body, pushing your hips back and extending your right leg in the air to return to Three-Legged Dog.
- Place your right foot on the ground to come back to Downward Dog.
- Repeat for three short holds on each leg.
