- Bend the knee, lift the left foot and bring it near the trunk by holding
the left ankle with both hands. (Plate 369)

forward and place the left leg on the back of the neck. (Plate 370.)
The outer side of the lower left leg just above the ankle will touch the
back of the neck.
4· Raise up the neck and head, keep the back straight, let go of the
left ankle and fold the palms in front of the chest. (Plate 371.) The
back of the left thigh will then touch the back of the left shoulder.
If the head is not held up properly, the leg will slip off the neck. The
right leg should lie straight on the floor. The back of the entire leg
should touch the floor and the toes point forward.
