How to practice
Let your upper back spread and keep the weight of your hips moving toward your heels.
Benefits
Stretches the upper back and encourages awareness of a rounded spine in a compact kneeling position.
Who should avoid or modify
- Keep weight off the head and avoid pulling hard on the heels. Skip with neck problems or dizziness; use a supported child's pose if the knees or neck feel strained.
