3. Raise the bent legs to the chest level.

4. Tie the legs at knee portion by the two hands. (Or Just below the kneecap).

5. When properly performed the foot of each leg will be just a few inches above the ground.





Fruit of Asana

Though this comes under Sukasana as a sun type after sitting for over ten or fifteen minutes the backbone may give a forward bend and sitting erect may not be quite possible. This is an ordinary pose. The benefit is described after another sub type is described.
