How to do it

1. Start in downward dog: hands and feet on the floor, hips pushed up and back so your body forms an inverted V, heels reaching toward the floor and your head relaxed between your arms.
2. From there, roll forward through a low sweep - hips dropping toward the floor as your chest glides forward and up between your hands - into upward dog: back arched, chest open, gaze forward, thighs off the floor.
3. Then push your hips back up and return to the V.
4. Flow slowly between the two positions, moving with your breath.
