While inhaling, turn torso rightward (about 1 o'clock
direction) with waist as body axis, shift your weight
onto right leg and moving left foot to the inside
of right foot, toes on floor. Turn left hand to the
left front in a down curve till hand is by right flank,
palm facing up, as if holding a ball. Raise right
hand to the front of right part of chest, palm facing
in, as if hugging a ball.
While exhaling, take a step forward with left foot
(about 11 o'clock direction), heel first. Shifts your
weight onto left leg and bend the knee. Straighten
the right leg with whole foot on floor in a "left
bow stance". Meanwhile, stretch left arm in an
up curve out to left, hand shoulder-height, with left
elbow, knee and toes in one line. Push right hand
down from the position of chest to abdomen with the
palm facing down and the thumb near the navel. |
