Technique

  1. Sit with straight legs, hands on the floor behind the hips, fingers toward the feet.
  2. Lift the hips until the body forms a line, heels on the floor, toes pointed.
  3. Head in line or slightly back, glutes tight, hold.

Common mistakes

  • Hips dropping mid-set: shorten the hold.
  • Shoulders riding up to the ears: press the hands into the floor.
