There are many variations to this pose, so to hear about them read more

• Kneel on your mat with your knees hips-width distance apart, and your big toes touching behind you.
• Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, lie your torso down onto your thighs.Try to lengthen your neck and spine, by drawing your ribs away from your tailbone, and the crown of your head away from your shoulders.
• You can do it as shown in the photo, with your arms resting comfortably on your lower back, but I prefer to do it with my arms beside my legs, with my palms facing up. Or you can also try extending your arms out in front of you. I also like to separate my knees and bring my arms between my legs, and turn my head to the side so my cheek is on the mat. Each of these variations will stretch your back, neck, and shoulders differently, so try them all to see which one you like best.
• Stay here for five breaths or longer, and once you've had enough, you can inhale to lift your torso up.

If you are preggo, open your knees wide so when you bend forward there is space for your ever growing belly.
