- Begin by entering the Mountain Pose (Tadasana); stand up straight with your feet together and your hands loose at your sides. Shift your stance so your feet are now hip-width apart.
- Bend your knees and squat down until your buttocks rests on your heels and your body rest against your thighs.
- Shift your knees slightly to the left and begin to twist your torso to the right.
Reach out with your left arm in such a way that your left elbow presses against the outside your right knee. - Swing your right arm behind your back and try to grasp the fingers or wrist of your left hand with your right hand.
- Continue to twist to the right as much as is comfortable. Keep your heels presses into the ground.
- Hold for 30 seconds to a minute. Release the twist and repeat on the other side.
- Breathe deeply through each step.
- This pose is advanced so do not attempt it without the guidance of an expert.
