Stand up straight. Twist and wrap your right leg around your left leg, from the front, as shown in the photograph. Simultaneously, bend both arms at the elbows.
Place the right elbow on the inside of the bent left hand. Pass your left hand around the right wrist, bringing your palms together in a namaste gesture. Hold the pose, breathing normally.
If shaky about balance, lean back lightly against a wall. Relax and repeat on the other side.
Points to note: How deeply you twist your limbs around each other depends on two things: balance and flexibility. This will take time to develop.
Benefits: Same as the Crescent and Dancing Shiva poses. Limbs get particularly supple and toned.
