1. Start in a wide-legged squat- feet slightly wider than hip-distance apart, hands on the floor.
2. Place your hands behind your feet. Try to move your shoulders beneath your knees.
3. As you bend back down into the squat, gradually bring your body weight to your hands only.
4. Lift up your feet and cross them in the air in front of you. When you’re ready, straighten your legs into a straddle.
