How to do it

Setup

Lower back pressed flat, arms overhead, legs long, both off the floor.

Steps

  1. Set the rigid banana shape.
  2. Rock forward and back WITHOUT changing the shape.
  3. Stop when the shape breaks.

Common mistakes

Rocking from the hips: the shape rocks as ONE piece. Lower back popping off: arms lower, legs higher until it holds. Chin tucking hard: neutral gaze up.

Breathing

Steady with the rocks.
