The technique of execution

Performance of the left side

The position is the start up, back straight and hands relaxed along the body. The left leg is folded back, grabbing the ankle with your left hand. The right leg will remain perfectly tight while running posture. It rises as much as possible the left foot. Now it catches the ball of left foot, also with the right hand. The palms crossed catch the ball of left foot, approaching as possible to the top of the head, bent, too, to the rear. In the final step of this ideal posture, the foot is stuck in the left top of the head. The eyes remain open in a state of meditation and internal fixation. During execution, we will seek to achieve the best possible state of immobility.
