Plow Pose (Halasana)

• Lie on your back with your arms beside you, palms facing downwards.
• As you inhale, use your abdominal muscles to lift your feet off the floor, raising your legs vertically at a 90 degree angle.
• Continue to breathe normally and supporting your hips and back with your hands, lift them off the ground.
• Allow your legs to sweep in a 180 degree angle over your head till your toes touch the floor. Your back should be perpendicular to the floor. This may be difficult initially, but make an attempt for a few seconds.
• Do this slowly and gently. Ensure that you do not strain your neck or push it into the ground.
• Hold this pose for a few seconds.
• Gently bring your legs down on exhalation. Avoid jerking your body, while bringing the legs down.
