From a standing position, bend at the hips and place your palms flat on the floor in a short Down Dog position. Make sure your fingers are spread wide and you're pressing firmly into the fingertips. Gaze at a spot on the floor slightly in front of you.
Gently rock your weight forward as you push off the balls of the feet, trying to get space between your feet and the floor. Take small hops at first to get comfortable with having all your bodyweight in your hands.
Take bigger hops as you're ready. Think about getting the hips over the shoulders, and, if possible, bring the soles of the feet to clap together. Use your core muscles to slowly and softly lower the feet back to the floor.
