Method: First of all, take the posture of padmasana. Thereafter touch your abdomen with both your heels. Then take both your hands behind your back and hold with the right hand, the big toe of your left leg and vice versa. If you find it difficult to touch the toes, then bend forward, hold the toes and return to the erect sitting posture. Keep your eyes closed. Make your breathing slow and deep. Engage your mind and attention either to meditation or some spiritual activity. In the beginning this asana should be performed for about 11/2 to 2 minutes and gradually its duration can be raised to about 10 minutes.
This asana provides peace, purity and stability. It enhances intelligence, and strengthens lungs. It makes supine supple, broader chest, and a healthy body.
