Boat Pose / Navasana

Henry Ford said that if you divide a large task into small enough parts it'll get done easily. Apply that same theory to boat pose. Pictured here is a modified boat with the knees bent...in order to work on getting the legs straight, try doing so in small increments over weeks or months of practice.
