How to do it
- Sit with your knees bent and together, feet flat, hands behind your thighs. Straighten one leg out, knees side by side.
- Breathe out and roll back into a C-curve, low back towards the mat, legs still. Breathe in and hold.
- Breathe out and roll back up. Lower the foot, then straighten the other leg.
