Step-by-step instructions

  1. Begin on all fours, then lower onto your forearms with your elbows directly beneath your shoulders, cushioning the knees on a folded blanket if needed.

  2. Walk your knees back behind your hips so your body makes one straight line from your knees to the crown of your head.

  3. Press down through your forearms to keep your chest broad and your shoulders away from your ears, supporting the shoulder joints.

  4. Engage your core by drawing your belly in and tucking your tailbone slightly so your hips stay level and your lower back stays long.

  5. Breathe smoothly and hold for twenty to thirty seconds, keeping the line of the body steady.

  6. To release, lower your hips back toward your heels and rest.
