How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with a rolled towel running lengthwise under the spine (a folded blanket works), knees bent and feet flat.
  2. Let the arms fall open to the sides, palms up, only as wide as stays comfortable.
  3. Let the ribcage settle a little more with each slow exhale — no forcing.
  4. Come out by rolling onto one side first.
