Sit and bend knees. Grab one of your legs. Hold it by your calf with one hand and your foot with the other. Reach elbow through and hoist it over your shoulder (like you're putting on a backpack). Tuck head under your foot and keep nudging your shoulder deeper into the knee crease. Keep nudging head under foot. Open elbow out more to the side and get situated. Some people can grab the other leg and do the same thing before bending forward. If you can't do that, try bending forward and doing the other leg on the floor. Rock to each side as you reach arms around and back. If you can't reach to clasp your hands, use a strap. Breathe and relax.
