Supta Baddha Konasana
How to do it:
1. Laying on your back with the bottoms of your feet touching, place a folded blanket or a couple of pillows under each leg.

3. Place your hands on your belly.
4. Close your eyes and breathe.
Do:
• Relax your legs into the blanket.
• Lengthen the neck.
Don’t:
• Hold your legs up.
