How to do it

Lying down, press your elbows and forearms into the floor and inhale to lift the chest toward the ceiling. Let the head tip back to rest only lightly on the floor.

What it should feel like

The center of the chest opens as the highest point of the body while the elbows and forearms carry the weight. The neck stays long and easy.

Common mistakes

Resting body weight on the crown of the head. Keep the weight in the elbows — if the neck complains, lift only the chest and rest the head down.
