Main Steps

Do Salamba Sarvangasana

Release chin lock and lower trunk and legs gently to the floor on the head side, bringing arms upward under the legs at the same time. Note. In case the feet do not reach the floor do half Halsana with the legs resting on a bench or a vertical level by contracting muscles of the thighs, and by placing hands in middle of back and lifting it. Release hands and stretch them back in a direction opposite to that of the legs. Maintain the pose and breathe normally. Exhale and return to Sarvangasana and then slowly lower the trunk and the legs to the floor.
