• Now turn your left toe in the same direction i.e. left direction (outwards).
• Slowly raise both your hands at shoulder level and look towards the fingers of the left hand.
• Your back should remain straight in this posture. If the back remains bent, then there can be pain in the lower part of the back.
• Keep your left toe firmly on the ground and now bend a little by bending from the knee. In this posture, the part above the waist and then the right leg should not bend.
• Inhale and exhale five times in total, so that you can stay in the asana for 30 to 60 seconds. Gradually, as your body strength and flexibility increases, you can increase its time but do not do it for more than 90 seconds.
• After breathing five times, you can come out of the asana.
