So I started a "Jump back" notebook and just started adding bullet points of things to remember. Sometimes these would come from watching some videos online, reading an article or sometimes from my practice. Here's what i have so far. I'll number them so if anyone wants to comment and say this one helped or that one is not a good idea it will be easier. However there's no real order other than how they appear in my notebook.
1. Sit legs outstretched
2. Hand by the side
3. Puff out chest
4. uddiyana bandha
5. Shoulders back
6. Head bent down
7. Draw shoulders forward as you lift
8. Round back as if thread pulling belly button though back and up
9. Drop chest towards floor as you bring feet through
10. Hug knees to chest, then release and hold with hip flexors
11. Sit tall, shoulders back, head bent, knees hugged to chest, toes pointed, lift and rock forward,bring shoulders forward with lift and fall forward, swing through up and back to chaturanga.
12. Start lift off a second after you begin to inhale
13. Better to jump through slowly
14. Jumping through: have shoulders a little in frount of the hands
15. Lift off: engage Uddiyana then bring pubic bone up to ribs LIKE A SPRING
16 Lift off: engage Uddiyana then push down like a spring then bring pubic bone up to ribs like the release of the spring.
17. Lolasana: hands further back, almost at hips
18. Drishti; gaze further forward
19. Squeezing in thighs, like squeezing a toothpase tube forcing the toothpaste up the tube....try it on tolasana
20. Crossing ankles higher. if you cross them together one trails below the other. cross the right ankle a little higher up the shin of the other leg
