Technique
Stand upright. Bend the left knee slightly and twist the right leg over the left leg so that the right instep is tucked behind the left calf. The arms are crossed in front of the chest so that the left elbow rests on the right biceps against the elbow joint, and the left hand is kept above the right hand in front of the face. Stay steady at least ten seconds, breathing freely.
Then repeat the pose, balancing on the right leg and reversing the arm and leg positions.
