Common mistakes
You let the hips drift back over the heels as you bend, which robs the pose of its stretch.
You fold all the bend into the lower back instead of opening the chest.
You drop the head back suddenly rather than releasing it as the last step.
What to focus on
Keep the hips pressing forward so they stay stacked over the knees for the entire hold.
Lift the sternum up and back so the bend comes from the upper and mid back.
Come out slowly, chest leading and chin last, and pause before moving on.
