Steps
1. Sit with your legs fully stretched
out. Bend each leg at the knees and place
your feet on the other hip joint. Both
the heels are adjusted in such a way that
each presses the adjacent portion of the
abdomen. This forms the foot-lock in a
sitting position.
2. Bend backwards and, exhaling, rest
your weight on the elbows. Push your neck
backwards and slightly rise the hip upward
thus making an arch of the spine.
3. Then, by making hooks of the forefingers,
hold your toes on the corresponding side
without crossing your arms. This posture
should be maintained for some time with
slow and deep breathing.
4. For reverting to the original position,
release the foot-lock and return to the
supine position by lowering the arch.
