Upward PlankPurvottanasana · 위를 향한 널빤지
How to do it
Sit with the legs extended forward and plant both hands on the floor behind the hips. Inhale, press through the feet to lift the hips high into one straight line from head to heels, and let the head drop gently back. Bend the knees into a tabletop lift if it is too much.
What it should feel like
The whole front of the body opening while the glutes and hamstrings work to keep the hips from sagging.
Common mistakes
The hips sagging toward the floor and the head dropping forward. Press the feet down and lift the hips up to shoulder height.
