Set-Up:

From Prone Position: Tips:  Adjustments:  Modifications:
 * 1) Inhale, roll your shoulders back and down toward your hips
 * 2) Peel your chest off the floor, do not use your hands at all; allow your heart to open
 * Keep rolling your hips into the ground
 * Let your legs be heavy
 * Stretch your toes as far behind you as you can (feet should be together)

 * Try to hinge from your lowest ribs, not from your lower back
 * Hands can be on the floor, at your shoulders, stretched out to the side or back, separate or interlaced

Do not attempt Bhujangasana if you have a back injury.

If your back starts to bother you while perfroming Bhujangasana, lower down and press back to Child's Pose (Balasana).
