• Try to stretch your spine and neck. Keep your shoulders back, opening your chest.
• Point your shoulder blades toward each other and downward.
• The gaze can be directed forward.
• Tense only leg muscles, arm and back muscles should be relaxed.

Elina: In the final position, try to bring your knees and shins together. When performing the exercise, be sure to watch your breathing, do not hold it. In the asana should remain up to one minute, then with an exhalation drop to the stomach, stretch the body and relax.
