How to do –

Sit up with the soles of your feet flat on the floor.

Hook your hands behind your hamstrings and lean back slowly until you are balancing up on your sit bones.

Lift your feet off of the ground and, with bent knees, raise your feet up, so they are aligned with your knees.

Press your lower back in and extend your chest up to the sky. Release your hands from behind your hamstrings and reach your arms out in front of you, palms facing together.

Make sure you keep pressing your shoulders down, pressing your lower back in and extending your heart up. Hold the pose for 5 breaths.

Advanced practitioners can extend their legs straight, making a “V” shape.
