How to do Dragonfly Pose:
1. Lift your right leg up and cross it over your left thigh with your right foot flexed. Bend your left knee and sink down into a seated figure four position.
2. Twist your upper body toward the left and bring your hands to the ground. Squat down to sit on your left heel.
3. Bring your right tricep into the instep of your right foot. Place both hands on the ground and shift forward, creating a shelf for you to balance on.
4. Once you feel comfortable, bring more weight into your fingertips and lift your left foot up off the ground. To finish this pose, extend your left leg and bring your gaze forward or down.
