VIPAREETHA KARANI

  • Lie on your back, and relax the whole body.

  • Fold your legs over your stomach and lift it high up.

  • With the help of your hands, support the buttocks and the chest as you lift them.

  • Then rest your elbows on the floor and straighten your legs.

  • Focus your eyes on the big toes, and hold for two minutes.
In the beginning, use outside help, support the buttocks with pillows, or stand/ lie by the side of the wall; then with the support of the wall, lift your buttocks off the floor. Do not stiffen the legs; keep it relaxed. Repeat 2-3 times. While coming down, fold your legs in, slide your hands off your buttocks, and come down gently, without raising the head.
