Tips: The movement goes backward, not downward. Your eyes stay level the whole time. Small is enough. You want a mild stretch at the base of your skull, not effort.
Easier: Lie on your back with your head on the floor so you can feel the movement against something. Rest two fingers on your chin and guide it back gently.
