Bend your knees, and place your feet flat on the floor. Walk your heels as close as you can to your tush, and turn your heels out slightly, so the outside edges of your feet are parallel with the outside edges of your mat.
Lift your hips up with an inhale, and interlace the fingers. Rock your weight from side to side to draw the shoulder blades closer together.
Stay here for five deep breaths, actively pressing your feet into the floor to lift your hips up and increase the stretch in your torso and neck.
Roll over onto the belly and press back into Down Dog. Step or hop the feet forward, rising up to a standing position at the front of the mat, repeating this sequence on the left side.
