How to do it

Lie face down, place the elbows right under the shoulders, press the forearms into the floor, and lift the chest forward. Keep the legs long behind you.

What it should feel like

The upper chest opening rather than the lower back, with the belly resting easily on the floor.

Common mistakes

Holding the shoulders up by the ears. Draw them down and press the forearms into the floor to make length.
