Suspended Seal

Lie on your stomach with your legs extended straight behind you.
Place your hands by your shoulders and press up through your arms to arch your spine, lifting your legs and hips off of the floor.
You should be supported by only your hands and feet in this position.
Maintain contracted glutes to help protect your lower back and promote more extension through your middle and upper spine.
Be sure your elbows are completely straight and your hands remain directly under your shoulders.
Pull your shoulders down and back (depress and retract) at the top of the stretch to open your chest.
Hold for time.
