Wind-releasing pose to leg lift (Apanasana to Modified Supta Padangusthasana)

Start by lying on your back, with your knees bent in toward your chest and your hands behind your knees.

On an inhalation, straighten your legs, holding your hands behind the knees.

Hold the leg lift for one breath, then exhale and release back to your starting position.

For a second round, hold the leg lift for two breaths.

For a third round, hold the leg lift for three breaths.
