12m
Urdhva Dhanurasana is a deep backbending Yoga posture where the body arches backwards, supported by the hands and feet, creating a shape similar to a bow, with "urdhva" meaning upward and "dhanura" meaning bow in Sanskrit. You'll need to be by a wall and have two blocks (if you don't have blocks use books).
