Moving next into a pose called Three Legged Dog, which is a version of Downward Facing
Dog. But, in this version we will be opening the hips. So, let us start by sitting back
onto our heels. Reaching our arms out away from the body. And, let us roll our toes underneath.
Lifting our hips up. Pressing back to find Downward Facing Dog. Now from here, we are
going to take the left leg. Reaching that left leg behind the body with flexed ankle.
Balancing our weight across both hands and the foot on the surface. Let us go ahead and
bend the left knee, keeping that ankle flexed. And, let us drop the left foot across the
body creating openness across the left hip. But, we are not twisting here, we are just
opening the hip. Let us reach that leg back behind. Lowering back to Down Dog. And, let
us do that on the other side. Reaching back with the right leg. Flexing the ankle. Checking
our weight distribution. Let us bend the right knee, dropping that foot across. Reaching back behind and let us come back
to Down Dog. And then, releasing that back to the surface.
