How to do Fallen Angel

  1. From your squat, turn your torso right and place both palms on the mat to your right.
  2. Spread your fingers so pressure reaches across each palm.
  3. Keep your feet grounded while you organize your hand support.
  4. Press through both palms without lifting your feet yet.
  5. Keep your elbows actively supported rather than letting them buckle.
  6. Keep your weight in your arms, not on your head or neck.
  7. Maintain pressure through both hands while your feet are off the mat.
  8. Return your feet to the mat while your hands continue to support you.

Variations

Stay with both feet down rather than attempting the lift.
