Exercises

1. Use a yoga mat or a flatly folded blanket to place under your head and forearms. Get on your knees, interlace your fingers, and place your elbows on the ground. Elbows should be as wide as shoulders

2. Place your head between your hands

3. Inhale. Lift your knees off the ground and carefully move your legs toward your yoga elbows, making your hips the highest point like an inverted V. Keep your elbows on the ground throughout the process to protect your head and neck from being compressed.

4. "Exhale" Use your abdomen and lower back to lift your legs off the ground

5. Imagine it is a reverse mountain pose, keep your spine straight without bending backwards, keep your legs together and slightly draw your tailbone inward to lift your body upwards, try to draw your ribs inward and at the same time move your shoulders away from your ears.

6. The weight borne by the wrist, arm and elbow should not be less than 95% of the body weight

7. Breathe evenly. Beginners should stay in this position for about 10 seconds, and can gradually increase the time by 5 or 10 seconds as they practice, until they can comfortably stay in this position for 3 or 5 minutes, or as long as possible (beginners can practice with their backs against a wall)
