- Kneel on your mat with your knees hips-width distance apart, and your big toes touching behind you.
- Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, lie your torso over your thighs. Try to lengthen your neck and spine by drawing your ribs away from your tailbone and the crown of your head away from your shoulders.
- Extend your arms out in front of you, relaxing your forehead on the floor.
- Stay here for five breaths.
