I would try it sitting on a thick pillow or meditation cushion-

that helps keep the spine in proper alignment if you are less

flexible.

 

You might also try first learning to sit comfortably with your

hands in prayer position with thumbs pressed against your sternum.

If you can find the way to sit straight and comfortably in that position,

then you can maintain it while inhaling your hands overhead.

 

I find it works best when my lower back retains the slightest hint

of curvature- if in the beginning my spine is

flattened out completely, it will round quickly as I tired

and I will experience a great deal of unhealthy strain.
