1. Begin in Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana), grounding your hands and feet into the mat and lifting your hips up and back.
2. Step your right foot outside your right hand, bringing your right leg into a wide lunge.
3. Lower the right shoulder and arm underneath the right thigh, so your shoulder is directly under the knee. Ensure your palms remain flat on the ground.
4. Shifting your weight onto your hands and keeping your core engaged, slowly lift your right foot off the ground, extending your right leg out to the side, parallel with the ground.
5. Optionally, extend your left leg off the ground by lifting your left foot and straightening the leg behind you for the full expression of Flying Lizard.
6. Hold the pose for 5-10 breaths, focusing on balance and maintaining the integrity of the pose.
7. Slowly lower your right foot back to the ground, if lifted, and exit the pose by returning to Downward-Facing Dog.
8. Repeat the same sequence on the left side for balance.
Remember to practice caution and listen to your body when attempting this advanced pose to avoid any injuries. If you're a beginner or struggle with balance, working with a qualified yoga instructor for modifications and support is advisable.
