The Tower is a yoga position that is not for the faint hearted!  Do this to perfect your balance, strengthen your neck and strengthen your core.  Be sure you know how to bail out of this exercise, so you don't injure yourself. 

First make sure there is plenty of room.  Then once you are in the position and feel like you might fall over, either tuck your head and roll, or make a quick ¼ turn and bring you legs down.
  1. Place your head and palms on the ground in the shape of a triangle.
  2. Bring you knees up to rest on your elbows.
  3. Lean your torso back and use your abdominals to bring your legs up.
  4. When you are completely straight, you should feel less pressure on your arms and your weight should be distributed evenly down your body into the ground.
  5. Breathe naturally.
