    Don’t forget to keep these three things in mind when getting into the pose:

    – Use your fingers to help you find balance!  Think CREEPY FINGERS as you grip your mat.

    – Corset your low ribs together to help eliminate dumping into the lower back. It’s the same feeling you get when you catch a football!

    – It’s all about the stack!  Shoulders over the heels of the hands, hips over the shoulders, feet over the hips.
