Bow Pose illustration

How to do it

Lie on your belly, bend the knees and hold the ankles, then inhale to lift the chest and thighs together, drawing the body into a bow.

What it should feel like

The chest, shoulders, and fronts of the thighs opening together while the whole back body works evenly.

Common mistakes

Bending only from the lower back. Let the legs pressing back into the hands be what opens the chest.
