Preparation
The chest expands and the lungs get more oxygen. Sharpens eyesight and strengthens the back and increases the elasticity of the spine. Let's look at how it's done: Lie on the back with the knees bent and the heels touching the ground near your hips. This is the starting position.

Step 2
Place the palms on the floor beside the head with the fingers pointing downwards
Step 3
Put pressure on the hands and slowly move your hips and knees forward
Step 4
Now, using your hands and feet lift your body up to create a semi-circle
Step 5
Extend your feet and come on your toes
Step 6
Hold for as long as your body allows
Step 7
Release and return to the starting position
Step 8
Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions
Step 9
And that's how you do Chakrasana
Step 10
Precautions: Avoid doing Chakrasana if your blood pressure is very high or low, or if you feel dizzy while or after doing it
Step 11
Avoid doing it if you've had abdominal surgery or hernia or spinal/ cardiac problems
