==Technique==
#Bend the knees.
#Move your chest toward the floor at the same time simultaneously move your feet toward the back of the head.
#As the chest moves forward, slowly begin to lift the head to roll toward the forehead.
#One by one, catch the feet with your hands and pull them to the head.
#You have to look straight ahead. Hold at this position and breathe.
#As you move your leg, you will feel intense stretch in the back of your leg.
#To come to the fore, release your hands and interlace the fingers behind your head. Root down through the forearms and the head and by inhaling lift the legs vertical.
#Do relax for some time and do it again nearly times in a yoga session.
