Intermediate-Level Parsvottanasana

1. Stand with the feet three feet apart and facing forward.
2. Interlace your fingers behind your back. If there are difficulties balancing, stand with one side in contact with a wall.
3. Bring the shoulders back, down and together and pull in the abdomen while taking a deep breath and sliding the hands down as far as possible toward the floor.
4. Now exhale and descend down with the shoulders staying back.

5. Breathe in calmly for 10-20 seconds while lifting the straightened arms as high as possible away from the back. Slowly extend the period of time in the descended position up to 1 minute.

6. To leave the pose, first raise the torso up during inhalation, then release the arms.
