Now straighten your back and raise your shoulders; your hands should exert their force downward. Inhale slowly. Bend your body forward from the waist in such a way that your backbone remains straight. While doing so keep exhaling. Do not bend your neck nor raise your hips from the ground .Touch the ground with your forehead, raising your locked hands high in the sky. Practice staying in this posture for some time; inhale and exhale slowly. From here, return to your original position, while slowly inhaling.

Now repeat this process by first turning your waist towards right and then towards left. The hands in the former position will be on the left hip and in the latter position on the right.
