- Begin in a downward-facing dog position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your feet hip-width apart.
- Walk your feet towards your hands, bending your knees as needed to allow your heels to touch the mat.
- Press your palms and fingers into the mat and lift your hips up towards the ceiling to deepen the stretch in your hamstrings and calves.
- Hold the pose for a few breaths, and then release by slowly walking your hands back out to a downward-facing dog position.
