HALASANA

Method of Practice

Lie flat on your back with your arms resting alongside your body and your palms facing downward.
Take a deep breath. Using your abdominal muscles, slowly raise both legs together until they are perpendicular to the floor (90 degrees).
Continue breathing normally. Lift your hips and lower back off the floor, supporting your body with your hands if needed.
Slowly move your legs over your head until your toes touch the floor behind you. Ideally, your back should remain as close to vertical as possible. This may be difficult at first, but with regular practice your flexibility will improve.
Hold the posture for a comfortable duration while breathing steadily. With each exhalation, consciously relax your body.
To release the pose, exhale and slowly lower your legs back to the floor in a controlled manner.
Repeat 3–4 times.
