This is an unsupported sarvangasana. Lie on your back on the floor with your legs stretched
out and your palms facing down on the ground by the sides of the legs. Breathe easily and
then on an exhale bend the knees and take the legs to the stomach until the thighs are
pressing into the stomach. Breathe and raise the hips off the floor on an exhale. Support the
hips by bending your elbows so they are flat on the ground with your hands on the back of
your hips. Raise the trunk off the ground until it is perpendicular to the ground. Your chest
should be pressing into your chin. Exhale and stretch the legs straight up so they are pointing
to the ceiling. Keep stretching the body upwards until only your head, shoulders and backs of
the upper arms and elbows are resting on the ground and supporting your weight.
