How to do the Fish Pose

1. Lie on your back with your legs extended and arms alongside your body.
2. Slide your hands under your hips, palms down, and draw your elbows in.
3. Press into your forearms to lift your chest, arching your upper back.
4. Gently lower the crown of your head to the floor only if comfortable, keeping most weight in your arms.

Tips

• Keep the lift coming from your chest and arms, not your neck.

Adjustments

• Rest your head on the floor or lie back over a rolled blanket or block under your upper back.
