Wild Thing is a great back-bending pose for opening up your front body. Feel the energizing effects of this pose and have fun with it!

Benefits of Wild Thing Pose:

- Stretches your upper and lower body
- Opens your hip flexors
- Boosts your mood and energy

How to do Wild Thing Pose:
1. Start in a side plank pose, rolling onto the outer edge of your right foot. Place your right hand directly beneath your shoulder.
2. Externally rotate your right arm so your elbow faces toward your feet. Reach your opposite arm up toward the sky.
3. Lift your upper leg and bend your knee. Place your foot behind you with your heel lifted.
4. Rotate your chest upward and press through your right leg, grounding through your big toe. Externally rotate your raised arm with your palm facing backward and reach overhead.
5. Extend through your side body, lift your hips even more, and engage your glutes.
6. You can focus your gaze downward, to the side, or up toward the sky.
