Instructions

Setup

  • Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position on a mat.

Movement

  • Lower your elbows onto the mat, ensuring they are shoulder-width apart.

  • Bring your palms together in a prayer position.

  • Slowly walk your elbows forward while keeping your hips raised directly above your knees.

  • Allow your chest to sink down towards the mat, lengthening the spine, while simultaneously bending your elbows to bring your hands behind your head.

  • Gently press your elbows into the mat to increase the stretch in the triceps.

  • Hold this position, focusing on deep breathing, allowing your chest and shoulders to drop deeper with each exhale.
