Compass Roll

Starting from your knees/turtle position, tuck your chin, drop onto a shoulder, and roll across your upper back in a circular compass motion to pop back up onto your knees.

Key points

  • Initiate the movement from a kneeling base by dipping one shoulder to the mat
  • Tuck your chin tightly and roll across the upper back in an arc
  • Complete the circular rotation and recover immediately back onto both knees

Common mistakes

Failing to tuck the chin, risking neck compression against the mat.
