Preparation
This pose helps in increasing the efficiency of the entire digestive system, and in stretching and strengthening the shoulders and arms. Let's check the steps: Kneel on the floor with the knees close together. Bring the big toes together and separate the heels. Place the knees on the ground. Lower your hips and place them onto the heels. The heels should touch the sides of the hips. This is the starting position.
