1) If you are a beginner, it might be difficult to bring the torso to the floor forward. What you can do is take a thick rolled blanket and lay it in front of you, making sure the long axis is perpendicular to your pelvis. Now, you can lay your torso down on this.

2) Make sure your bowel and stomach is empty when you start doing the asana. Taking your meals at least 4 to 6 hours prior is advised. This will ensure the food is digested and will supply enough energy to do.

3) It is always best to do the asana in the morning. But in case you miss out, you can do it in the evening too.
