• Keep your arms beside your body, palms facing down.
• While inhaling, lift your body off the floor, pushing with your pelvis, lower back, and feet.
• Touch the chest to the chin without bringing the chin down.
• Tighten your buttocks and ensure that your thighs are parallel to each other.
• Now interlace your fingers and push the hands on the floor to lift the torso a little more up.
