From Downward Facing Dog, inhale and lift your right leg high towards the sky, hips squared.

As you exhale, bring your shoulders above your wrist into plank and pull your knee towards your nose. Inhale and lift the leg back up.

Repeat three times, before you step the right foot down next to the right hand.

Try to really touch knee and nose together and pause there for a moment (or even a breath if you’d like to intensify). This is great core strengthener and will build up lots of power for your take off.
