Using the support of your hands, gently raise both the legs to an upright position while keeping them joined, toes pointing upwards. The lower spine is also lifted off floor. The legs are perpendicular to the ground while the spine is tilted at an angle of forty five degrees. The shoulders and head stay on the ground. The chin is partially tucked into the chest and hands support the body. Retain the posture while maintaining the awareness of the nectar at the throat pit.
