How to move
- You lie flat on your back, legs a little apart and rolled open, arms slightly away from the body with palms up, eyes closed. The work is deliberately releasing effort everywhere and staying awake for several unbroken minutes.
Practice and cautions
Lie for 5 to 10 minutes at the end of practice; set a timer so you can stop watching the clock.
Almost none. Bend the knees or put a cushion under them if the low back complains, and from mid-pregnancy lie on your left side or prop the upper body up instead of lying flat.
