Left your hips off the floor and bring your legs
up, over and beyond your head at an angle of about 45⁰.

Exhale, bend your arms and support your body, holding
as near the shoulders as possible, thumbs around the front of the body, fingers
around the back. Push your back up and lift your legs.
·
Straighten your spine and bring the legs up to a
vertical position. Press your chin firmly into the base of your throat.
Gradually try to get your elbows closer together and your hands further down
your back, towards the shoulders, so as to straighten your back.

Breathe normally while doing this posture and
while holding it. Stay in this position 20 to 30 seconds.

Bend your knees and pull them to your forehead
or chest; then gently lower your body, releasing the position.
Take
care not to jerk into the posture instead gently keep pulling your body up into
the final position.
