How to Do a Gate Pose
- 1). Kneel on your mat. Your shins should be on the mat and your thighs perpendicular to the floor.
- 2). Extend your right foot. The side of your right foot should be on the mat and the bottom of your foot facing out to the wall on your right.
- 3). Attempt to place your right foot on the floor. If this is not possible, return your right foot to the original position or place a blanket under the toes. Your shoulders and chest should be facing the front of the room and your right leg should be rotated to face the wall at your right.
- 4). Inhale and raise your left arm to the ceiling.
- 5). Exhale and bend to your right. As you bend towards the right your right arm will move down your right leg.
