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.
