How to do it
- Stand with your feet together or hip-width apart.

- Reach your arms up alongside your ears with your palms facing each other.
- Keep your weight toward your heels and your knees in line with your toes.
- Hold and breathe, then press through your feet to stand back up.
Form tips
- Draw your lower belly in so your lower back does not over-arch.
- Sink only as low as you can while keeping your heels on the floor.
