Advice

  • Make sure you don't push your neck wrong.
  • As you begin to rotate, tuck your chin towards your chest.
  • Don't put too much pressure on your neck.
  • Keep your knees together.
  • As you rotate, it helps to turn your head to the side and look towards your shoulder. This will prevent the weight of the body from being placed on the head. The goal is to pass over the space between the shoulder and the neck.
