This pose refers to the "Eight Limbs of Yoga," the guiding principles for achieving a healthy and fulfilling life. Also, you're touching eight parts of your body to the mat.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Comfortable clothing suitable for stretching and moving
A calm place where you won't be distracted or disturbed
A yoga mat or folded blanket

Step 1: Begin on hands & knees

Begin on your hands and knees on the mat, with your wrists directly under your shoulders.

Step 2: Tuck toes under

Tuck your toes under keeping your arms perpendicular to the mat.

Step 3: Look at floor

Look straight down at the floor, keeping your neck aligned with your straight spine.

Tip: Stay in this position breathing evenly for several full breaths.

Step 4: Lower chin & chest

Exhale, bending your elbows and lowering your chest and chin to the floor so only they, and your hands, knees, and feet, are touching the mat.

Tip: Your chin should rest between your hands, your hips should be high and your elbows tucked in by your side.

Step 5: Hold pose

Hold the pose for several full breaths.

Step 6: Release pose

Release the pose by lowering your hips to the mat on an exhale. You completed one of the eight principles—but all eight of the body parts.
