- Point your toes out and press the tops of your feet gently onto the floor.
- Transfer your body weight on your fours, as you lift your knees away from the floor.
- Tighten your glutes and your lower belly. Then, lengthen your lower back in such a way that the muscles in your buttocks lean towards your heels.
- Now, hold hands down as you raise your elbows up towards your stomach.
- Try to make a strong grip of your arms towards your legs, include your upper arms and the trunk muscles energetically.
- Breathe in, and raise your legs from the floor at that time do not bend your knees.
- Raise your legs from your thighs and your spine in the shape of an arch, forming the letter “C”. Now you will see your toes in front of you.
- Hold the pose for few minutes or as much as you can.
- Breathe out, put down your leg one by one and discharge (free) your arms from your torso.
