Are you ready to become a leopard? Come into Leopard Pose when you feel powerful. Ready? On all fours. Round your back. Tuck chin into your chest. Move slowing back and forth. A leopard’s tail is as long as its entire body. This helps it balance high up on branches in the trees. Let's see how good your balance is. Raise your left leg and right arm. Try to keep your balance. Now raise your right leg and left arm.

Balance. Concentration. Flexible spine.

Forehead to knee. Raise leg or arm.

Wrist injury.
