The left hand remains firm and tight, keeping your right foot. Hold posture with normal breathing, release slowly and relax. Repeat on other side. At the beginning is enough to keep the left leg with your right hand folded. When this is easy, extend downward and hold that the left foot with the right hand. Continue pulling on the left foot, lifting up on each exhale.
