3. Lean back and support the weight of your body with your hands.
4. Breathing in, raise the pelvis up, keeping the whole body straight.
5. Keep your knees straight and bring the feet flat to the floor. Place the toes on the ground and the sole will then tend to be on the ground. Let the head fall back towards the floor.
6. Hold the pose and continue breathing.
7. As you exhale, come back to a sitting position and relax.
8. Repeat the posture with your fingers pointing in the opposite direction.
