Things You'll Need:
- Yoga mat
- Loose, comfortable clothing

Step 1
Start in the Table Top Pose, making sure that the wrists are in line with the shoulders and the knees are in line with the hips.
-
Step 2
Drop the elbows to the floor, keeping them in line with the shoulders, and clasp the hands together in front of you, making a tripod. Hands should be loose, not tense.
-
Step 3
Bring the head down to rest between the fingers of the clasped hands, letting the thumbs relax on the back of the head.
-
Step 4
Curl the toes under and lift the hips toward the sky, slowly walking the feet toward the body until the back becomes straight.
-
Step 5
Gently lift the legs, first bending at the knees, followed by the hips and then gradually straightening up until the soles of the feet are facing the sky. At the same time, press your weight into the tripod while pulling in at the naval towards the spine, balancing into the pose.
-
Step 6
Slowly bring your legs back down, bending at the knees, and then at the hips, until the feet touch the ground and the toes are again curled under.
-
Step 7
Gradually move into a resting pose, such as Child.
