When you are stable in this pose, hold your right foot with both hands, pull it up and take two deep breaths. While exhaling, stick your head, nose and chin on your right knee in turn and take a deep breath for 3-5 times.
4. Exhale, release your hand, slowly put your right leg on the ground and return to Yamanashi. Repeat the above actions on the other side.

2. Yoga dance style (one-legged transition style)
Action process:
1. Stand with your feet together, focus on the ground in front of your body, lift your right foot and hold it with your right hand. Tilt the heel of the right foot to the right hip as far as possible, and keep your knees at the same level. Hold this position and take six breaths.
2. Stretch the quadriceps femoris (a large muscle on the outside of the thigh) at the same time. The closer the heel is to the hip, the stronger the feeling of muscle stretching. Inhale, lift your left hand forward and upward, then move your right foot away from your hips and pull it back and upward in a curved form to form a dance.
3. Keep this posture, put your right foot on the ground until you feel comfortable, slowly put down your arm and resume normal breathing. Then repeat the exercise on the other side, and you can keep your balance with a chair at the beginning of the exercise.
