Tips & Tricks

Keep both hips squared to the front. You can feel your hip socket to make sure your hips are square.

Try to keep the spine straight & shoulders sliding down your back.

If you are not able to straighten your leg just yet, do not push it. Move slowly & focus on keeping your standing leg rooted down & spine straight. Form over matter, so practice each step to your body's best ability.

Good rule of thumb: Your deepest part of the pose is dependent on your form, so to know how deep you can go, pay attention to where you can hold the pose with the best integrity.

Other variation: As you swing your leg to the left, you can turn your head to the right.
