Description Of Activity

Starting Position: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Your heels should be close enough to your buttocks that you can lightly touch them with your fingertips. Arms are alongside your body, palms down.
Engage and Lift: Inhale deeply. As you exhale, press into your feet and lift your hips off the floor, keeping your thighs parallel.
Chest to Chin: Continue to lift your hips until your thighs are roughly parallel to the floor. Draw your chest towards your chin, without straining your neck.
Shoulders and Arms: You can keep your arms alongside your body, or interlace your fingers underneath your back, pressing your arms into the mat to lift the chest further.
Knees and Feet: Keep your knees pointing forward, not splaying out. Ensure your feet are firmly grounded.
Hold: Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute, breathing deeply.
Release: Exhale slowly and gently lower your spine back down to the mat, one vertebra at a time, until your hips rest on the floor.
