Exercise Description
This is a good introductory yoga position that helps strengthen and stretch out the back. It also has positive effects on your butt and legs.
Muscle Groups: back, butt, legs
Step Number 1
Start off on your stomach with your hands placed just under your shoulders. Your toes should be pointed behind you.
Step Number 2
Bend your knees, with your knees hip width apart, and reach back and grab the outside of your ankles. Stay in this position for a moment and get used to the mild back bend.
Step Number 3
On an inhale lift your chest and legs in a circular ball shape. The strength should come from your feet pushing into your hands and let your upper body go with it. Don’t force anything.
Step Number 4
Exhale down and rest. While resting you should still be holding your feet with your hands and your knees should be bent.
Step Number 5
Repeat this motion several times, as you should become more comfortable in both the upward position and downward resting position.
