How to do it

Perform the exercise while sitting on the thigh with slightly bent knees, bringing them together and placing one foot in front of the other. Place one hand on the floor, with the toes turned outward from the body, and the other hand on the lower leg. As you inhale, use the support of the arm to lift your hips off the floor, straightening your knees, and raise your other hand up towards your head. Lower your hand back down and bring it underneath your body. On the exhale, follow with your head and upper body, twisting the waist area. Keep your hips and legs stationary. On the inhale, bring the arm back and open up the shoulders and head towards the ceiling. On the exhale, slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.
