• Tuck your hands underneath yourself with your palms facing up. With your hands under your buttocks, prepare to raise your torso.
• Lift your torso gradually till you are resting on your shoulders.
• Your arms must now be bent at the elbow. Bring your hands to your back to support yourself. Your legs should be over your head.
• Slowly straighten your back.
• Keep your knees firm but relax your calf muscles now. Maintain the posture.
• To relax, lower your legs till your feet are at an angle of 45 degreesover your head. Lower your arms to the floor. Unwind gradually.
