HOW TO PERFORM

1. Set up on all fours, hands under shoulders and knees under hips.
2. Exhale and round the whole spine up toward the ceiling, tucking the tailbone and dropping the head.
3. Inhale and reverse it: let the belly sink, lift the chest and tailbone, and look forward.
4. Flow between the two slowly, in time with the breath.
