Reach your feet toward the crown of your head, arching your back.
Lift your chest and look forward or toward your feet.
Press your forearms (or palms) firmly into the floor.
Keep your base stable and your shoulders lifting away from the ground.
Engage your glutes and core to support the deep backbend.
Reach through your toes to create a strong arc.
Find a steady point of focus to maintain balance.
