Preparation
Sit in Dandasana (Staff Pose) - spine straight and upright, hands at your sides, extend legs forward, feet together. Inhale, exhale, and relax.
Getting into position
Spread the legs as wide as possible (without bending knees). Move your buttocks back slightly. Using your hands, push your legs out a little farther. Point toes. Sit for a few moments to allow your legs and hips to adjust. Place hands in front of you. Inhale. Exhaling, move your buttocks back a little more and keep your spine straight. Lean forward slightly and walk your hands forward one at a time. Relax your legs for a few more seconds. Inhale. Exhaling, try to walk farther and rest your chest and chin (or forehead) on the floor. Flatten the spine. For final position, reach hands to grab your big toes. Hold with normal breathing for around 30 seconds.
Coming out of position
Slightly relax the body. Release your hands from your toes. Very carefully, walk your hands back one at a time towards you and slowly lift your torso upright to a sitting position. Slowly, release your legs and bring them back to the starting position. Inhale, exhale, and relax.
