At the base of the pose, press the upper arms into the support. Move the chest toward the chin; lift from the armpits to the hips & lengthen the buttocks to the heels.
Moving the right foot to the left:
Make the right upper arm dense and keep it planted into the support, roll the thighs from outer to inner; move the right foot to the left; lengthen the inner right heel away; lift the left hip up & push the left inner heel towards the right. Walk the feet further to the left whilst keeping both inner legs "glued" together and the hips level.

Finer points:
Base - moving the hands as close as possible to the support, using the hands to lift the skin to the hips and supporting the back of the rib-cage help to plant the arms firmly into the support.
Keep the the thighs firm, open the backs of the knees & knee caps lift back to the body while the inner thigh of the leg that moved passed the center-line of the body (right) extends away. Move inside of the other leg back to the body. The navel moves back to the spine. Keep the buttock skin moving towards the heels.
