Yoga Pose #2
Ustrasana
Instructions:
Step 1: Kneel down on the floor and place your knees hip width apart. Get your hips off the floor such that your thighs are at a 90 degrees angle with the ground. Your feet must be kept firmly on the floor.
Step 2: You can either extend your arms in front of you or place them on your hips. Pull you chest up and your shoulders back.
Step 3: Slowly bend your upper body backwards while keeping your back straight. Do not let your body curl forward. Slowly, place your hands on your toes and stay in that position for 1 minute.
Step 4: Get back to the initial position slowly and remember to breathe properly throughout the exercise.
