From Karnapidasana, inhale raise your legs into Salamba Sarvangasana and then bring your legs into Padmasana, lotus legs – first right foot then left foot into the opposite hip crease, for Urdhva Padmasana posture. This is not easy to do without use of your hands but if you use your hands be careful with your neck and your knees not to force anything. When in position, press your hands onto your knees with straight arms, lengthen your spine, engage your bandhas and breathe for eight breaths. If lotus is not working with your body, take half lotus or just cross your legs and hold your knees. You could also omit the posture. This pose strengthens your back muscles and shoulders as it improves balance and digestion.
