How to practice
Choose a resting preparation on your back with your feet on the floor. Hug your knees gently if comfortable and keep your neck relaxed.
Benefits
Provides a strong stretch along the back of the body and challenges control while folding the legs overhead. Bending the knees makes the overhead fold more compact and demands careful control.
Who should avoid or modify
- Use expert guidance; do not force the feet to the floor or turn the head. Avoid with neck or spinal conditions, glaucoma, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or pregnancy; exit if breathing feels restricted. Never press the knees against the ears or head to force the shape.
