How to do it

Press the floor apart with your hands to stabilize your shoulders throughout each rep.

  1. 1

    Start in a downward dog position with your feet hip-width apart and your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width.

  2. 2

    Lower your hips and glide your body forward, bringing your chest between your hands in a scooping motion.

  3. 3

    End with your hips down and your back arched, looking up.

  4. 4

    Reverse the motion by lifting your hips back up to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Focus on a smooth, flowing motion and keep your core engaged to protect your lower back during the exercise.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Diving chest straight down without scooping
