Hold on to your ankles and roll your bodyup into a deep squat position. Work onthis progression until you feel comfortable enough to move on.

Lie down with your feet about hip-widthapart and bend your knees.

Roll your body up into a squat positionbut this time, keep one leg straight, andpop up very slightly with your bent leg.

Work on popping up a little higher eachtime you roll up, until you can pop upinto a standing position.

Next, you’ll go in the opposite direction:Stand up and squat back, keeping oneleg straight, and roll your body down to asupine position.
