How to perform Plow Pose

  2. Lift the legs and roll the pelvis up under control, supporting the back with your hands as the feet travel overhead.
  3. Rest the toes on the floor or a stable chair behind the head, keeping weight on the shoulders and upper arms and leaving the neck uncompressed.
  4. Keep the head still. Support the back, bend the knees if needed, and roll down slowly without dropping the pelvis.
