Bring your crown of your head on the floor pressing the bases of your palms together while placing the back of your head against your hands.
2. Inhale and lift your knees off the floor, while walking your feet closer to your elbows, heels elevated. As you exhale, take both feet up up off the floor with your knees bent. Squeeze your inner thighs together and actively press the heels toward the ceiling (Iyengar style).
