Want to Balance in Forearm Stand? A Yoga Sequence to Get You There

Here's a pose to strengthen your upper body and loosen tight hamstrings.

• From Down Dog, spread your fingers wide and lower your forearms to the mat. Check to make sure you're creating a straight line between your elbows and middle fingers. Try to straighten your legs and lower your heels toward the ground.
• Relax your head between your arms, and direct your gaze between your palms. Hold for five breaths.
