Technique: Bhadrasana [ankle-knee pose] Stretch the legs, the soles of the feet touching each other squarely. Fold the legs at the knees. Without letting the soles leave contact, draw them toward the body and place the heels close to the groin. Keep the hands on the knees and press the knees with respective hands to the floor. This exercise stretches the muscles of the thighs and legs. Do this pose once and hold from three to five minutes. Technique: Goraksha Asana [ankle-knee pose] From bhadrasana position raise the body and bring the perineum over the heel. Sit for a minute and increase three to five minutes.
