Technique

- Slowly transfer your weight onto your right hand and onto the outer part of your right foot as if you are performing the Vasisthasana (Side plank pose).
- While breathing in, allow your hips to be lifted as if filled with buoyancy. Your right hand should stay strong with the fingers making a claw. The head of the bone of the right arm should be kept back. While breathing out, move your left foot back and place your toes on the ground with your knee slightly bent.
- Curl your upper back so that the shoulder blades make a sweeping action to the back part of the ribs.
- While breathing in, lift your hips higher till you are curled into a backbend and your right foot is stable on the ground.
- As you continue breathing, your head should be dropped back and your left arm extended from your heart expressing your freedom and power.
- Remain in this position for around 5 to 10 breaths and repeat the wild thing steps for the other side.[1]
