## Technique
1. Begin by laying flat on your back with arms overhead and both hands pushed straight against a wall.
2. Start in a Hollow body hold by lifting the legs a few inches off the floor, pulling the belly button down and ribs in so the low back is flat or almost flat on the floor, and go into Shoulder elevation so the shoulders are in contact with the ears.
3. While keeping the legs off the floor, open one leg to the side for a small Straddle position. Take the opposite hand off the wall and reach it out to the side. Elevate both shoulders even more and attempt to keep a straight line between opposite arms and legs.
4. Hold for up to 60 seconds per side for 3-4 sets.
**Logging:** Work each side for the time indicated.
