- Exhale. Push through your chest and extend your elbows to lift your body back into the starting position. Release your right hand and extend your arm upward. At the same time, turn your torso to face the long edge of your mat, ensuring that you draw up through your obliques (abs along your sides) to keep your hips elevated.
