- Sit with your back straight on a chair or a bed.

- Close your right nostril with your right thumb and then take a deep breath with your left nostril.
- Cover your left nostril with your middle and ring finger, remove your thumb from your right nostril, and then slowly exhale.
- Repeat the same process again, this time inhaling from your right nostril, keeping your left nostril closed with your fingers.
- Follow it up by covering the right nostril with the thumb, uncovering the left nostril and then exhaling through the same.
- Lie down on a yoga mat on your stomach. Your forehead should touch the ground, hands should be placed shoulder-width apart near the face with palms pressing on the floor, and the elbows should touch the body.
- Now, pressing your lower body as well as your palms, lift your upper body off the ground.
