Sit with your legs stretched in front of you. Bend your right leg and place your heel close to your pelvis.
Turn your toes toward the floor and your heel toward the sky. Push your hands into the floor and scoot your pelvis forward until your heel is aligned over your toes.
Turn your torso toward your left leg. Hold your left foot with both hands. Bend forward with an exhale, lowering your head toward your shin. Grab hold of your left wrist at the sole of your foot.
Hold the pose and take slow, deep breaths.
Rise with an inhale. Lift your knee and straighten your leg. Change sides.

Heel over toes
Ankle fully bent

Modification:
Instead of folding forward, use your hands to keep your pelvis lifted from the floor.
