Place your palms next to your rib cage, wrist creases aligned with the short end of your mat and elbows at a 90 degree angle.

Press the tops of your feet, especially the pinky toe nail into the ground. Inhale and push the floor away with your hands, lifting your chest, rolling your shoulders back down and out to the sides.

Either stay here in Cobra Pose (Buhjangasana), or straighten your arms to lift your hips and legs off the floor in Upward Facing Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana).

Extend your head away from your shoulders towards your heels and squeeze the shoulders blades onto your back to let your heart shine out even brighter.

To come out, either lower back down to your belly and come back to Downward Facing Dog through your knees, or pull the navel in towards the spine in Up Dog, lift your hips up high and roll back over your toes to Down Dog.
