Common mistakes
You move only the lower back while the upper spine and ribcage stay frozen.
You rush through the shapes faster than the breath, so movement and breathing disconnect.
You collapse into locked elbows and dump weight into the wrists.
What to focus on
Start each shape at the tailbone and let it ripple up the spine one vertebra at a time.
Match the movement exactly to the breath — the shape should finish when the inhale or exhale does.
Press the floor away through the hands so the shoulders stay active the whole time.
