Instructions: Lie on your back allowing your natural curve to occur, keep knees bent with feet flat on the mat and arms at your side with palms flat. Once you are in position, take a deep breath in and as you exhale, flatten your back to the floor. You should feel your spine, neck and the back of your head pressing against the mat. Continue to exhale as you tuck your pelvic area up. The lower part of your seat lifts from the mat as your spine presses the mat.
