Begin in downward-facing dog pose, inhale, and as you exhale bring your right foot forward and place it outside of your right hand. Keep your right knee bent at a 90-degree angle over your ankle, and slowly bring your forearms to the floor. Be sure to keep your left leg straight so as to get a good stretch in the left hip flexor. Hold for 5-10 breaths before repeating on the other side.
