- Sit on the floor with your legs extended and hands placed behind you, fingers pointing towards your feet.
- Press your palms into the ground and lift your hips upward, aligning your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Engage your core and glutes, keeping your body rigid and maintaining a neutral head position.
- Hold the position for the desired duration, ensuring not to let the hips sag.
