How to do the Half Bow Pose

1. Lie on your stomach with legs extended and forearms resting on the floor.
2. Bend one knee, bringing the heel toward the glute, and reach back with the same-side hand to grab the ankle.
3. Press your foot into your hand while lifting your chest and thigh off the mat.
4. Hold for a deep breath or two, then switch sides.

Tips

• Keep the extended leg active by pressing it into the floor.
• Maintain parallel legs to protect your lower back.

Adjustments

• Stay lower with your chest on the floor if lifting feels too intense.
