How to do it:

1. Start lying on your belly. Bend your knees and reach your arms back to grab a hold of your ankles, keeping your knees hip width apart.
2. On an inhale, start to life the chest and pull your feet back away from your buttocks as you lift the thighs. Keep your shoulder blades back and open the heart.
3. Maintain a strong even breath in and out through the nose

Hold for 10-20 breaths, then slowly release and lie back down resting your head to one side with arms and legs relaxed
