How to do it

From Side Plank, step the top foot back to the floor, press the hips high, open the chest wide, and sweep the top arm long past the head. Make a big arch supported on one hand and one foot. Lower the bottom knee if needed.

What it should feel like

The chest and front of the hips opening freely while the shoulder and leg hold the arch strong.

Common mistakes

The hips sinking low and the neck straining. Press the standing foot down to lift the hips, and soften the neck to let the head hang freely.
