2. Keep your shoulders and upper back relaxed, support your abdomen, and keep your spine in a neutral position.
3. Keep your right hand on your left knee. 
4. Try to push your knee and flex your hip at the same time, the amount of force used to push the knee and flexion of the hip should be equal, so no movement should occur.

6. As you maintain the resistance between your left knee and right hand, take your right foot off the mat.
