Description

From kneeling, move hips back only as far as comfortable and rest the torso and head on cushions or a chair; leave space for easy breathing.

Easier option

Stay more upright with forearms supported on a chair.

Breathing cue

Let breathing remain unforced; change position if the belly or chest feels compressed.
