Spoken instruction
Stand facing a chair, an arm's length away. With soft knees, hinge from your hips and rest your hands or forearms on the chair seat. Let your head and neck relax. Breathe slowly and let gravity lengthen the back of your body. To finish, bend your knees and roll up slowly.
Safety notes
- Keep the knees soft.
- Roll up slowly to avoid light-headedness.
