The first version shows a light raise in the spine. The arms are bend so that the spine does not have too much pressure. This is a good option if you have an injury or if your spine in very stiff.

If your arms fatigue you may want to walk them out a little and straighten them.


This version is very deep for beginners in yoga so only straighten this much is your spine is healthy and flexible.
