Firefly

How to do Firefly

1. From your squat, place both palms flat on the floor without forcing the reach.
2. Spread your fingers comfortably and press through the bases of all your fingers.
3. Firm your abdomen and let both feet lift only when your hand support is steady.
4. Extend both legs forward and apart without forcing your knees straight.
5. Press the floor away to keep your chest from sinking between your shoulders.
6. Look forward and slightly down, keeping your head clear of the floor.
7. Bend both knees and lower your feet to the mat before taking weight off your hands.

Benefits

The wide legs in firefly ask for flexibility through your hamstrings and hips.

Variations

Keep both feet grounded while testing whether your wrists comfortably accept weight.
