Formation

Assume any meditative pose like padmasana, sukhasana or siddhasana. Place the left palm on the navel and place the right palm on the left palm. Draw a deep breath and exhale slowly. Gradually bend forward and touch the ground with the chin. Eyes should look forward. Go on exhaling to empty the lungs and be in that position for some time. Then inhale slowly and lift the body. This is yoga mudra.
