UPWARD LEG HANDS-TO-FEET POSE
(UTTHITA PADAHASTASANA):
~In a seated position bend your knees and grab the back of both heels.
~Turn to the side so you can see yourself in the mirror from a side view.
~Lift your feet off the floor and place your forearms behind your calves, just like PADAHASTASANA.
~Keeping your spine straight and your toes pointed slowly extend your legs up toward the ceiling.
~Scoop your tailbone, pull up on your heels for balance and leverage!
~Stomach in and drop your shoulders down.
~Make sure to engage the Mula and Uddiyana bandhas.
~Eventually straighten (jack-knife), your legs and press your chest onto your thighs.
If there is a camera nearby - slowly turn your head to the side and smile!
