Start: Start on your hands and knees, palms flat on the floor. Walk your feet back away from your torso as far as you can and drop your hips to form a diagonal line with your body from head to toe. Tighten your core muscles to stabilize your spine. 
 
Technique Tip: Rather than bearing your body weight on your hands and shoulders, try to stay lifted and light on your joints.
