What is this yoga pose called, and what would be an appropriate modification?

one knee on ground, toes pointing back. other foot on floor toes pointed forward. Front knee aligned with ankle with the knee and thigh creating a 90 degree angle. Hands begin resting on the forward thigh but then are brought up above the head while looking upward.

It is painful for me to be on my knees so I am not only looking for what this pose is called, but what I might do to modify it to save my knees.

Thanks!

Thank you Kate! You are exactly right! That is the stretch they are doing on my video and I just can't manage it! I will substitute the warrior pose in it's place.

Wonderful!

I don't know what pose that is but it sounds like runner's stretch, try warrior pose.
