Sequence:

  2. Keep your knees straight below the hips.
  3. Straighten your arms, so that the wrist, elbow and shoulder are in one straight line.
  4. Keep your head in the center. Do not let the head hang down.
  5. Fix your gaze on the floor.
  6. Inhale.
  7. As you inhale, raise your chest and buttocks towards the ceiling.
  8. Push your belly downwards towards the floor so that it forms a curve.
  9. Exhale and raise your spine so that it forms an arc.
  10. Raise your head and look straight ahead.
