    How do I get up from it?
    Community Answer
    Try slowly standing up, knees first, then legs. After you master that, try just your legs, no knees. After that, try jumping right up. Be sure to be slow and steady!

    How can I prevent myself from hurting my neck?
    Community Answer
    Tuck your head under as tightly as you can whenever you do a backward roll. It may take some practice but you'll get the hang of it.

    It shouldn't hurt at all unless you are doing the position wrong or you haven't stretched properly.

    I always get stuck on Step 5. Any tips?
    Community Answer
    Use your arms to push, and don't be afraid. The moment you get down, you need to kick your feet hard.

    Practice doing candle sticks where you are sitting on your shoulders. It should help.

    How do I push so I can turn?
    Community Answer
    Try to have the back of your shoulders touch the ground and not your head. After you are done, push your body up.
