   There should be a step between 1 and 2, where you bend your knees. Keeping your legs straight during the lift is very bad for your low back — unless your back is strong enough for the advanced moves. With your feet at the end of a very long lever — Physics 102.

   Slide feet towards bum, knees to ceiling. Then lift feet.

   This is also the Plow in yoga.

   Our hi-intermediate class never did this. It requires flexibility, strength, and a good deal of control, including side-muscles to avoid twisting.

   So, yeah — it’s not surprising you find it hard.
