Description

Kneel and sit between the heels only if knees and ankles tolerate it; use a block or bolster so the hips remain elevated.

Easier option

Sit on a chair or place a high support under the pelvis; do not force feet outward.

Breathing cue

Breathe freely; leave the pose if knee/ankle pressure or tingling develops.
