Question

Answer 1

1. Stand straight in straight line keeping the heels and toes together. Finger together, facing downward and palms along the thighs fingers stretched out. Expand the chest and drop the shoulders to a relaxed position. This is starting position for all standing asanas.
2. Inhale and bring the hands in front to the shoulder level. Palms facing each other.
3. Exhale and bend the knee like you try to sit on a chair (but without a chair). Your spine should be erect. This is final position. Do not hold breath. Breathe normally.
4. Inhale and straighten the knees and release the hands with exhalation.

This posture tones the calf muscles and thigh muscles and strengthen the hip joints.
