Start with supine, imprinted position. Legs on diagonal. Arms long by sides, palms down, scapulae stabilized. Inhale and flex at hips to hinge legs toward torso. Exhale and sequentially spine through flexion off at a time, from tailbone to upper thoracic area: reaching legs overhead, parallel to mat. Allow legs to lower with control by flexing hips further so toes touch mat if possible. Rest weight across scapulae, not on cervical spine. Inhale and lift parallel to mat and abduct slightly wider than shoulder-distance apart. Exhale and sequentially articulate spine down to mat from thoracic to tail. Once stable, imprinted spine attained, reach legs out on diagonal as low as possible, maintaining imprint and adduct legs.
