Prep: Reclined Hand-to-Foot

Lie face-up and hug right knee in toward chest. Either take hold of right big toe with right thumb and peace fingers in yogi-toe-lock or grab the outer edge of right foot or thigh and start to lengthen leg long, gently pulling foot in the direction of head. (Keep knee bent if this is too intense.) Breathe here for five deep breaths, then repeat on the left.
