From Mountain Pose, step one foot back, coming into a high lunge with your knee over your ankle. Pivot the back foot out into a 45-degree angle, and align the arch with the heel of your front foot.
Inhale your arms straight up (passing through Warrior I), then exhale and bring your arms parallel to the ground — your back arm will be the same side as your back foot.
Draw your hands away from each other, and gaze over your front hand – with the front arm reaching forward and the back reaching behind you, your core remains centreed.
"I have a teacher that likes to say if you notice yourself leaning forward, you're worrying about the future, and if you notice yourself leaning back, you're living in the past. Can you bring yourself back to the present moment? Stand tall, strong, and rooted in your intention," Davidson says.
Hold for 30 seconds.
To switch sides, simply pivot both feet so that you're facing the side. Then, pivot again so that the foot that was originally in the back is now in the front. Come into Warrior II on the other side, and hold for 30 seconds.
