HALASANA

EXHALE. Lower the legs over the head to the floor. Interlace the fingers and straight the arms down touching the floor, as in A, or go half way placing the hands on the back of the hips as in B, or use a prop, like a chair, as in C.
STAY HERE FOR 5 LONG DEEP BREATHS

INHALE. Release the hands, and place the palms facing down in the floor.

COMMENTS

If there is pain in the neck you should modify, or get out of this Asana. You can keep the toes flex to lift the seat bones, or pointed to stretch the spine more. Bring the elbows closer to lift the neck away.
