Alternating Bent-Leg Toe Tap
Step 1
Start by lying flat on your back on a yoga mat. Bend your knees and position your feet firmly on the mat, ensuring that your hips and knees are together. Imprint your spine into the mat and bring your legs into tabletop position, ensuring that your knees are stacked over your hips, your toes are pointed, and your shins are parallel to (in line with) the floor. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Set your T-zone. Exhale. While maintaining an imprinted spine and drawing your ribs towards your hips, lower your right leg to touch your toe on the mat, ensuring that you do not change the angle of your knee.
Step 3
Inhale. Elevate your right leg to return to the starting position.
Step 4
Exhale. While maintaining an imprinted spine and drawing your ribs towards your hips, lower your left leg to touch your toe on the mat, ensuring that you do not change the angle of your knee.
Step 5
Inhale. Elevate your left leg to return to the starting position. Continue alternating between left and right for the specified number of repetitions. If you cannot maintain an imprinted spine while touching your toe to the mat, then only lower your leg as low as you can.
