Lie on your back with your legs straight and your feet together. Extend your arms underneath your body with your hands resting palms down and your elbows as close together as possible.

4 - Press the crown of your head downward,

As you feel stable in the posture you may release your arms and bring your hands to prayer position over your heart or to the floor overhead.

Hold the posture. Breathe.

To release, press your sitz bones firmly downward, bringing your weight onto your elbows, and gently slide your head back down.

1 - Press your heels away from your hips.

2 - Tilt your pelvis forward and press your sitz bones and tailbone downward, allowing the pressing to lift your torso and open your chest.
