Instructions

Setup

  • Begin on a yoga mat in a quadruped position (all fours).

  • Place both palms flat on the floor directly under your shoulders.

  • Crucial: Position your hands so that your fingers are pointing backwards, towards your knees.

Movement

  • From this starting position, slowly and gently rock your hips backward toward your heels.

  • Keep your palms firmly against the floor throughout the entire movement.

  • Go only as far as you feel a comfortable stretch in the forearms and wrists.

  • Hold the stretch momentarily, then rock forward back to the starting position.

  • Continue this rocking motion rhythmically for the duration of the set.
