Step-by-step instructions

  1. Lie face down on your mat with your legs extended and the tops of your feet resting on the floor.

  2. Stack your hands and rest your forehead on them, or turn one cheek to the mat, keeping your neck long and relaxed.

  3. Let your belly, hips, and chest soften and sink fully into the floor as you breathe slowly into your lower back.

  4. For extra comfort, slide a bolster under your hips or a folded blanket under your forehead to ease any pressure in the lower back.

  5. Stay here for 1 to 3 minutes, letting each exhale release tension from the spine.

  6. To come out, press gently through your hands, turn your head to center, and push back to a kneeling rest.
