How to do it

  1. From all fours, take your knees wider so there is room for your belly.
  2. Sit your hips back towards your heels and stretch your arms forward along the floor.
  3. Rest your forehead on the floor, a pillow or your folded forearms — whatever height suits.
  4. Breathe calmly, directing the breath into your back and ribs.
