How to do it
- 1Lie on your back with legs straight together and arms overhead; brace your core and press your lower back gently into the floor.
- 2Lift legs to 90°, posteriorly tilt the pelvis, and articulate the spine off the floor to roll the legs overhead, keeping weight on upper back/shoulders and the neck relaxed.
- 3Stop where you can control the position without cervical pressure, legs long and together.
- 4Sweep the arms forward and begin a controlled reverse roll, segmenting the spine back down as you unfold the legs.
- 5Hinge at the hips to sit up and balance on your sit bones in a V-sit, torso and legs about 45–60 degrees, arms reaching toward toes, chest lifted.
- 6Pause briefly with abs braced, then tuck the pelvis and round the spine to roll back with control.
- 7Exhale as you rise to the V-sit; inhale as you roll back. Move smoothly and do not let the heels slam to the floor.
