Snug upper left arm and shoulder under back of left thigh just above knee. Place left hand on floor at the outside edge of left foot, fingers pointing forward. Repeat on right. As you do this your upper back will round. Press inner hands firmly against floor and slowly begin to rock weight back, off feet and onto hands. As you straighten arms, feet will lift off floor. Squeeze outer arms with inner thighs. Cross right ankle over left ankle. Look straight ahead. Hold. Release. Repeat pose with left ankle on top.
