How to Perform

  1. 1

    Start in a pike position: hands shoulder-width apart on floor, feet together, hips high, forming an inverted V.

  2. 2

    Walk feet closer to hands to increase the angle, keeping legs straight.

  3. 3

    Lower the top of your head towards the ground by bending elbows, keeping them tucked or slightly flared.

  4. 4

    Ensure head and hands form a stable tripod.

  5. 5

    Lightly touch head to floor (or as low as possible).

  6. 6

    Push through hands to extend elbows and return to starting pike position.

  7. 7

    Repeat for desired repetitions.
