☞ Keep the knees closer to the chair

☞ Stretch the toes and keep the feet parallel

☞ Hold the chair with both hands

☞ Slowly raise the knees, with the toes in contact with the mat

☞ Keep the heels in contact with the hips

☞ Keep the trunk upright

☞ Stay for about 20 seconds

☞ Keep the breathing slow and steady
