Where you'll feel it

How to do it

1. Kneel with the big toes together and the knees apart.
2. Sit the hips back toward the heels.
3. Walk the hands forward and rest the forehead on the floor.
4. Breathe slowly into the back.

Common mistakes

• Forcing the hips down — rest them on a cushion if they don't reach.
• Tensing the shoulders — let them relax.
• Holding the breath — slow breaths into the back.
