Warrior III (Virabhadrasana III) is a great balancing pose. It strengthens the legs, abdomen, spine, and shoulders and increases concentration and balance. This is the final posture but you might want to see my steps below! 
Shift your weight onto the right foot, place your hands on your hips, and raise the left leg up. Focus your eyes on a point ahead. Stretch the left leg away from you and press the right foot into the ground.
When you feel stable, with even breathing, take the arms out to the sides to see how that feels.
It doesn't matter if you lose your balance and have to place your hands or foot back down. (You can always pretend you're picking something up like I did).... Just start again! Finally, raise the arms out to the sides and bring them in front of you with the palms together. (See picture at top of page).
Please Note: For full instructions and guidance on yoga, and in the interest of safety it is advisable to practice with a qualified teacher.
