1. Lie on your back, exhale and bend your knees into the belly.
2. Inhale and hold the outside edge of your feet.
3. Open your knees and bring them up toward your armpits.
4. Hold the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Mindfulness Practice
Turn the soles of your feet to face the ceiling and stack your ankles over the knees, keeping your shins perpendicular to the floor. Roll your tailbone toward the floor and, as you hold the pose for a few breaths, try getting in touch with your inner child.
