How to

1. Lie flat on your back, legs relaxed and slightly apart.
2. Rest your arms at your sides, palms up.
3. Close your eyes and release every muscle.
4. Breathe slowly and stay still for the full time.

Form cues

• Let your feet fall open to the sides.
• Soften your jaw and let your face relax.
• Keep your throat and tongue soft and loose.

Common mistakes

• The jaw stays clenched throughout the hold. Let your lips part slightly and unclench your jaw.
• Feet stay pressed together instead of relaxed. Let your feet drop open and turn out.
• Shoulders stay hiked up near the ears. Roll your shoulders down away from your ears.
