How to practice
Use Sphinx as preparation, with forearms down and chest gently lifted. Leave the feet on the floor and keep the front of your hips comfortable.
Benefits
Stretches the front thighs and hips while encouraging chest opening in a prone backbend.
Who should avoid or modify
- Do not press the foot down to force a deeper knee bend. Avoid with knee injury or during pregnancy, and reduce the lift if the lower back pinches.
