Bow Pose

Lie on your stomach with your arms at your sides. Bend your knees and bring your heels towards your buttocks. Reach back with your hands and grab your ankles. Inhale and lift your chest off the ground, pulling your legs up and back with your hands. Keep your gaze forward and hold the pose for a few breaths before releasing back to the ground.
