# To begin this asana, you must start with the Adho Mukha Svanasana or the Downward Facing Dog Pose. If you are a beginner and are practicing with the
support of a wall, make sure your hands are placed about six inches away from the wall.
# Walk towards your hands, making sure your shoulders are placed exactly over your wrists.
# Bend the knee of any one leg, and lift the foot of the other leg off the floor. Straighten the leg once you are comfortable.
# Then, as the vertical leg takes the support of the wall, gently lift up the other leg. Hold until you are comfortable.
# While you do this, you must make sure your head is between your upper arms.
# Now, try and take your feet off the wall. Engage your legs. Setting your gaze on a certain point on the floor will also help.
# Hold the pose for a minute or more. Breathe deep and slow.
# To release this asana, bring your legs down, one at a time. Relax!
