Common mistakes
You let the back knee sag and the back leg go passive.
You flare the ribs and crunch the lower back as the arms sweep up.
You stand on a narrow tightrope base, which makes the pose wobble constantly.
What to focus on
Press the back heel strongly toward the wall behind you so the back leg stays straight and alive.
Tuck the tailbone slightly and feel the stretch land in the front of the back-leg hip.
Widen the feet to separate tracks if you are wobbling — stability first, depth second.
