side angle stretch

Find an open space, and stand facing your child, with about 3-4 feet between you. Open your arms and stand so that your ankles are directly under your wrists (wide stance). Turn your right foot at a 90° angle and then lunge on your right leg. Do not let your knee extend past your ankle (if you feel you want a wider stretch, slide your foot out a little more). Place your forearm against your right thigh with the palm of your hand facing up. Reach your left hand up and over, keeping your arm straight and in line with your left leg, and extend your fingers toward the sky. Your gaze should be up toward your left hand, and you should feel the stretch from the outer edge of your left foot through your left fingertips. Hold for five deep inhales and exhales, then come back to neutral. Repeat on the other side. Do as many rounds as is comfortable.

This is an excellent pose for opening up your side body and strengthening your legs.
