## Technique
1. Place your hands away from the wall, at a distance equivalent to the length of your legs.
2. Place both feet on the wall behind you, at around the same height at your hips.
3. Extend your legs to place your hips above your hands.
4. Align your arms and back on a vertical line.
## Form tips
* Aim to have a 90-degree angle at the hips, but you can work your way up to it by using smaller or larger angles.
* The most challenging part is generally to maintain alignment between your back and arms. This requires sufficient shoulder flexibility and enough strength in the upper back to open your shoulders ( Shoulder flexion backward).
