Tips: Keep the front knee stacked over the ankle rather than out past your toes. Set the bottom hand down first, and turn once you are settled there. Let the turn come from the ribs. Both hips stay level.
Easier: Rest the bottom hand on a block or a stack of books. Drop the back knee to the floor. Keep the top hand on your hip instead of reaching up.
