tips:
- Try not to compare your body to others; if you have done a lot of running or biking, this may be difficult on your knees. Be patient. You do not need to go back all the way to start. Your knees will open as a result of this perseverance.
- Maintain a lift with the upper body as you move into the posture to take tension out of the lower back.
- When arms are up and over the head, reach the elbows not only towards the back wall but also down to the floor.
