Sets: 2-3

Reps: 5 (3 steps down, 3 steps back = 1 rep)

• Start on all fours towards the back of your mat.

• Exhale as you press up into a bear crawl position, hovering your knees about 2 inches from the floor. Create a stable base through the shoulder blades by pushing the floor away from you.

• Inhale and gently expand (inner range breathing).

• Exhale and draw in your core as you take a step with opposite arm and opposite leg. This is a small step. Stabilize through the arm and leg that stay on the floor.

• Keep the spine in neutral. Try to minimize excessive movement through the body.

• Aim to take three “steps” forward and then three back.

• Perform small exhales with each step and a small inhale in between to reset.

Modifications:

• Decrease number of “steps” and work on one small step forward.

• Lower down to the mat after each step to reset. Build on reps to this as you get stronger.
