Technique

Step your feet wide and parallel, then squat. Place your palms on the floor behind your heels, shoulder-width apart with fingers forward. Rest your thighs high on your arms near the shoulders and bend your elbows slightly. Press your palms down as you gradually shift weight from your feet to your hands and extend your legs as far as you can. Hold for about three breaths. Bend your knees, lower your feet and stand up.

If It’s Difficult

1

First practise simpler arm balances. Begin with your knees bent and extend your legs gradually as you gain control.
