Move slowly until you feel moderate, localized tension rather than sharp pain. Hold without bouncing and come out of the stretch gradually. Keep breathing smoothly and do not force the end of the range.

Tips

Work within a range you can leave easily and without bouncing. Keep the breath smooth and let shoulders, lower back, spinal erectors and neck and upper trapezius adapt progressively instead of forcing the position.
