Kandharasana (Shoulder pose)

Lie on your back. Fold your legs at the knees, placing your feet flat on the ground beside your hips. Grasp your ankles with each hand. Inhale and hoist your hips off the ground. Exhale and gently lower them back to ground. This is one round. Do five to ten rounds initially, increasing either the duration in the final pose (in which case, you must continue normal breathing throughout) or the number of rounds.

Relax back to the corpse pose, body on the ground, feet apart, hands away from body, eyes shut, for a few minutes.

Benefits: Works on the thyroid gland powerfully, boosting metabolism. Powers the lungs. Tones your hips, thighs and legs.
