Instructions
1. Sit on the ground with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart, and your hands placed behind you with your fingers pointing towards your feet.
2. Press your palms and feet into the ground and lift your hips up towards the ceiling until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, and your body forms a reverse tabletop position.
3. Keep your arms and legs straight, and ensure your shoulders are aligned directly above your wrists.
4. Relax your head back without straining your neck, letting it hang comfortably to open the throat and chest.
5. Engage your core muscles to support your hips and keep them lifted. Your body should be parallel to the floor from your shoulders to your knees.
6. Hold this position, keeping your breathing steady and even.
7. To release, lower your hips back down to the ground and return to the seated position.
8. Make sure to perform the exercise in a controlled manner and avoid any jerky movements.
