Feet and legs: Hold the legs together and push the thighs and calves into the chairs.

Pelvis: Press your buttocks into the chairs.

Back & Torso: Extend the sides from the tailbone. Absorb the shoulder blades hard to open the sternum and increase the arc.

Arms & Shoulders: Pull the chair upright very hard with your hands. Align the elbows with the shoulders and push them towards the floor.

Neck & head: Look down at the floor while stretching the neck from its base.

Exit Asana: Remove your arms from the chair legs and use them to slowly move upwards with your head last and vertebra after vertebra.
