Pavanamuktasana - Wind Releasing Pose

STEPS : Lie on your back with your feet together and arms beside your body. Breathe in and as you exhale, bring your right knee in towards your chest and press the thigh on your abdomen with clasped hands. Breathe in again and as you exhale, lift your head and chest off the floor and touch your chin to your right knee. Hold it there, as you take deep, long breaths in and out. On an exhale, tighten the grip of your hands around your knee and increase the pressure against your chest. As you inhale, loosen your grip, come back to the ground and relax. Repeat this pose with the left leg and then with both the legs together. To complete the pose, you may rock up and down or roll from side to side while clasping both knees to the chest, 3-5 times and then relax.
