Half Lift illustration

How to do it

From a standing forward fold, inhale, bring your fingertips to your shins, and lift halfway to flatten the back.

What it should feel like

The back leveling out parallel to the floor, the whole spine lengthening at once. Keep the neck in line with the back.

Common mistakes

Craning just the neck to look up. Lengthen from the crown to the tailbone as one long line instead.
