1. Lying down in Savasana (Corpse Pose), bring your hands underneath the hips, palms facing down, and bend the arms at the elbows. Place the elbows on the floor close to your body.
2. Inhale and raise the entire upper body (from the lower back to the neck) slowly place the crown of the head on the floor and bend the head backward. Exhale completely here when placing the crown of the head on the floor.
3. Breathe out and push the elbows down into the floor, curve the body back, and as you lower the top of the head onto the floor, arch the back raising the chest upwards.
4. The lower body (from the buttocks to the heels) should be close to the floor and not raised.
5. Using the abdominal muscles, take the torso deeper first upwards and then downwards, and ensure the weight of the body is not on your neck and head, but evenly distributed at the hips, elbows, and core.
6. Hold the pose for as long as it is comfortable, taking gentle long breaths in and out. Relax in this posture with every exhalation with eyes closed.
