## Form tips
* Energetically ground the legs by pressing the upper legs into the floor.
* Try to center yourself over the sit bones, creating a 90 degree angle of the hips.
* Lift the chest up to meet the lowered chin, but do not let the lower ribs flare out.
* Pull the toes back slightly toward you but not to the point that the heels lift off the floor.
