Begin in a stable starting position.
Establish comfortable alignment.
Enter the posture slowly.
Maintain a pain-free range and relaxed face/jaw.
Breathe smoothly throughout.
Hold for the starting duration.
Exit slowly and return to neutral.
Take care with the wrists; stop if they become uncomfortable.
Advanced practice: only attempt this with qualified instruction.
Practise with a teacher present until the shape is familiar.
