What you should feel
Let your elbows rest inside your knees.
Form tips
- Keep your chest lifted and back straight. Gently push knees outward with elbows.
- Feel your hips and inner thighs soften.
- Let your spine grow tall.
Make it easier
If your heels lift, rest them on a folded towel.
Coming out of it
Place your hands down… and slowly rise up to standing.
