How To Do it

Now, one might not hit off perfectly in the very beginning with this exercise. Thus, patience and focus are the main key points to get this posture right. Start off with sitting straight comfortably on a mat or blanket, stretching your legs out in front and lengthening your spine. Exhale slowly and as you do so, hold one of your hands in front of your nose to check which of the two nostrils is more active. If the right nostril is active then begin with your left leg or if the left nostril is active then the right leg.

Next, begin with bending the knee of the active side then grabbing the ankle, hold it and bring it over your head and place the leg slowly on your neck. As you do so, maintain your breathing. Gradually and slowly, repeat the same with your other leg and place it on top of the first leg. Exhale. Hold the pose for at least 30 seconds and extend the time as your level of ease increases with practice.
