Common mistakes
You collapse weight into the bottom hand and crunch the lower side of the waist.
You hyperextend the front knee and hang on the joint.
You let the chest rotate down toward the floor instead of opening to the side.
What to focus on
Reach out over the front leg first, as if lengthening between two panes of glass, before you lower down.
Keep both sides of the waist equally long — the bottom hand should rest lightly, with a block if the shin feels far.
Revolve the chest open toward the ceiling with each exhale, and keep the gaze down if the neck complains.
