Intense Flank Stretch

1. Standing still with feet together, bring the palms back and together with little fingers touching the spine.
2. Pull the shoulders and elbows back as well, and urge the upward pointing fingers upward, until they are between the shoulder blades.

3. Spring so that 3 1/2 feet separate the feet, and turn the right foot 90 degrees out-ward, and the left 30 degrees inward.

4. Inhale and revolve the torso 90 degrees to the right, straightening the back, opening the chest, pulling in the abdomen and thrusting the head back so that the face is nearly horizontal.
5. Finally, exhale, bending at the lowest waist, pressing the navel to the thigh, the chest to the lower thigh and knee, and first the nose, then the lips, then the chin to the tibial region below the patella.

6. Splay apart the toes of both feet, keep knees poker straight.
7. Breathe calmly for 10-20 seconds, gradually extending the time to 1 minute.

Repeat on the other side.
