Steps:

  1. Begin in a forward fold.

  2. Plant your palms shoulder-distance apart on the mat, line your wrist creases up with the front edge of the mat.

  3. Press into your fingertips, look slightly forward, and take your knees into the back of your upper arms, aiming for your armpits. Your knees will most likely slide down.

  4. Bend your elbows softly, keeping them in-line with your shoulders, not winging out, and, one at a time, lift your feet off the ground, reaching your heels toward your butt. Keep your gaze slightly forward and start to lengthen your arms.Breathe here for at least three deep breaths.
