Her tips for reaching the proper alignment:
1. Lie on your back, or over a bolster (a cushion works too), with your knees bent and your feet touching the floor.
2. Slowly open your knees out wide, so that the soles of your feet are touching.
3. Lengthen your spine by extending your tailbone towards your heels and reaching the crown of your head in the opposite direction.
4. Place your palms, facing up, next to your hips, and soften your shoulders into the ground, away from the ears. Then soften your face, eyes, jaw, neck, and throat.
