Step 1

Step 1 Sit on the floor with your knees bent, hip-width apart, feet flat. Place your palms behind you, close to your hips, fingers pointing forward. Inhale and lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Press firmly into your hands and feet and continue to lift your torso as high as possible. Point your tailbone toward the backs of your knees. If your neck is sensitive, be sure to keep your chin down and look forward. Hold and breathe deeply for three to five breaths.
