Common mistakes
You arch the lower back and flare the ribs as the arms lift, which hides the hip stretch.
You slide the front knee far past the ankle as the hips sink.
You grind the back kneecap into a hard floor instead of padding it.
What to focus on
Tuck the pelvis slightly and squeeze the back-leg glute — the stretch should land in the front of the back hip, not the lower back.
Fold the mat or use a blanket under the back knee so you can relax into the hold.
Sink with the exhales rather than pushing to depth on the first breath.
