Stand upright, legs together, facing forward, hands by your sides. Shift the body weight onto the right leg and lift the left leg, bending the knee. As you lift the leg, move it sideways (to the left) and put it down on the floor again as in the picture. Shift weight back onto both feet. Describe a backwards circle with both hands, bringing them finally to the front, resting out in front of the belly, as if holding a balloon. At the same time, bend your knees (keep the heels on the ground). Imagine that you are holding the Gi.

Hold the position for as long as you like ( e.g. 8 breaths)
