STEPS :

  1. Start on your back with your knees bent, shins straight, and your feet hip-distance apart with your toes pointing forward.

  2. Lift your hips upward, firm your inner thighs, and pull your heels closer to your glutes to engage your hamstrings.

  3. Reach your arms up with your palms facing upward and bend at the elbow to bring your palms down near your ears, with your fingers facing either your shoulders or slightly outward.

  4. Push down through your hands and feet and rise onto the crown of your head.

  5. From here, push down again to lift your head off the ground and straighten your arms.

  6. Shorten the pose by walking your feet in and pressing your chest through the gateway of your shoulders.

  7. Bring one foot a little closer to center and balance on that foot while pulling your other leg into your chest with your toes pointed, then extend your leg straight up.
