- 1Deep contraction through the entire abdominal wall to hold the V
- 2Hip flexors working with the abs to keep the legs up
- 3Balance on the tailbone with the chest staying tall
Common mistakes
- Rounding the back and collapsing the chest
- Bending the knees to make the hold easier
- Holding your breath instead of breathing steadily
