  3. Warm your top left arm and neck around possible underneath the back of the left leg above the leg, and place your left hand on to the floor in the external edge of your left foot, fingers pointing forward. Repeat to the right. Your upper back can round while you do this.
  4. Media your inner hands tightly from the floor and gradually begin to rock your fat back, off the feet and on your hands. While you correct your hands, your feet will raise lightly off floor, not by natural strength but by cautiously switching your core of gravity.
  5. Press your external arms along with your legs, and cross-your right ankle over your left leg. Look straight forward. Carry for 30 seconds, then fold your arms and lightly launch back your feet again to a floor using an exhale.
  6. Repeat the pose another time with the left ankle on top.
