## Technique

1. Base lies on their back and places their feet at the flyer's hips.
2. Flyer leans forward and hangs in an inverted Pike position, with their torso draped over the base's legs.

## Form tips

* Base: Ensure your feet are positioned securely at the flyer's hip creases.
* Flyer: Relax your upper body and let gravity assist the stretch.
