It is the 62nd pose in the\u00a0Hatha Yoga asanas. You can prepare yourself first, by doing arm strengthening exercises, to be able to balance the whole body on the arms and wrists.<\/p><h3><strong>How To Do It?<\/strong><\/h3><p>\u2981 Kneel down on the floor and bring the big toes in contact with one another, as you sit on your heels.<br \/>\u2981 Once you start getting comfortable, spread your knees hip-width apart.<br \/>\u2981 Inhale and bend forward.
