  2. The next step is to rotate your thighs inwards and kneecaps pointing straight down and with that your toes should be touching the ground.

  3. Squeeze your ankle, toes, knees, thighs towards each other.

  4. Then press your pelvis into the floor, inhale and slightly lift up your chest away from the floor. Do this for about one to two minutes for one to two sets.
