In this yoga, you have to stretch your feet hip-width apart. Now, by gently lowering the torso towards the floor, you need to try and reach the floor. The knees must stay straight and not bend at all. Breathing deeply in, you need to grab hold of your ankles and stay for about a minute by letting your head and shoulders loose. Now slowly roll back to the standing posture.
