Begin in a stable starting position.
Establish comfortable alignment.
Enter the posture slowly.
Maintain a pain-free range and relaxed face/jaw.
Breathe smoothly throughout.
Hold for the starting duration.
Exit slowly and return to neutral.
Keep the knees tracking in line with the feet; never lock them.
Keep the hips aligned; do not force range at the hip.
