How To Do It?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2981 You can start from the Downward-Facing Dog pose or Adho Mukha Svanasana. It is the simplest way.
\n\u2981 Bring your right knee between your hands, as if you are preparing for a lunge. Slowly take your right ankle near your left wrist. And, instead of putting the foot down on the ground, you must lay your legs on the ground, so that the right knee touches the floor. The right shin may be aligned towards the left hip, or can be parallel to the mat.
\n\u2981 The left leg should be stretched back, and must lie flat on the floor. The left foot must point backwards.
\n\u2981 Keep padding under the right side of the hip.
\n\u2981 Then, as you become more stable, you can fold the upper body forward, and bring it down on the right thigh. You have to bring your forehead in contact with the floor.
\n\u2981 You must continue to breathe, so that the body does not become stiff.
\n\u2981 To release yourself from the pose, go back to the Downward-Facing Dog pose, and relax a bit, before repeating the same sequence on the other side.<\/p>\n
