  • To perform this pose, lie on your back, bend your knees and put your feet firmly on the floor.

    Lift your back off the floor. Touch the chest to your chin without bringing it down. Support your weight with your shoulders, arms and feet.

    Extend the arms, hold for 1-2 minutes and release the pose.

  • If you are a beginner, use a wall as support for this asana.

    Place your feet hip distance apart. Lean your back up against a wall and slide down until your knees and ankles are parallel with each other.

    Place your hands on your thighs, hold the pose for a few breaths and then relax.

    This pose will strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings, and abductors.

    Raise your arms sideways, parallel to the floor with palms facing down.

  • Start by standing straight. Then, place the left foot 2-3 feet behind the right one, and place your hands behind your back in reverse prayer position.

    Duck your head toward the right foot. Lengthen your spine, and bring your torso toward the thigh, as you breathe in and out. After five long breaths, relax and repeat with the other leg.

    Precautions: If it hurts, don't do it
  • Even though these poses have been recommended by many yoga experts, every one's body has its own vulnerabilities.

    So if any pose hurts, don't do it. Immediately get out of the problem causing position.

    With an injury, you have to be especially smart and careful enough to not aggravate the condition. Avoid or adjust anything that causes stinging pain or strains your knees excessively.
