Keep your body straight and lie down with your feet together. The forehead touches the soil. Keep both heels up and wrap both feet; Place both hands on the sides of both breasts. Then keep the head close to the ground from the feet to the navel and raise the head slowly. Bend the spine as far back as possible along with the neck and face and observe the sky.
There shall be no force on the hands while raising the front of the body; Bend the spine as far back as possible with the face as a light support with both hands and observe the sky. There shall be no force on the hands while raising the front of the body; Both hands will be lightly supported. During the first practice, the hand will read a little force; But as the seat gets used, the hand will not need any force. If you do this asana with emphasis on the hands, the benefit of the asana is lost a lot, the theory and muscles of the spine are not exercised as much as they should be. If the asana is well used, raise the hands slightly above the ground and practice the asana.
Do this asana minimum 3 times and maximum 5 times only. Practice the asana with breathing after the asana is well-accustomed. At first, the head will be lifted slowly by breathing in and out; A few seconds after lifting the head
Kumbhaka Kariya will be established in Asana; After that, the head will be bowed down to release the breath. When lowering the body, first the abdomen, then the chest, and finally the forehead should be close to the soil.
