Upper-Body Grasshopper

Description

Lie on your stomach with your legs straight and your feet pressed into the floor, then place your arms alongside your body with your palms facing your thighs. As you inhale, slightly lift your chest and arms while keeping your pubic bone in contact with the floor. Keep your shoulders down and away from your ears, your neck long, and your gaze directed toward the floor. Keep your breathing calm, aiming for the lengthening of your body rather than the height of the movement.
