Lying on the back, we keep the legs outstretched, placing the palms on the floor under the buttocks. In haling we lift the chest up, using the elbows as support, while we stretch the head backwards till the crown chakra touches the ground. This position allows the upper lungs to open completely and allows deep breathing.
We keep the position as long as it feels comfortable. Exhaling we free the hands and lower the body flat to the ground.
