Sit in a chair position (with no chair!), with your back against a wall and your hands palms-up, resting on your knees. Keep furniture near you or under you so you can grab it to help yourself back up when you're done. Keep your heels directly below your knees and at a 90-degree angle; your shoulders should be rolled back, and the back of your head should be against the wall. Hold for as long as you can, and try to work up to 2 minutes. Keep your face relaxed, and breathe.
