How to do Halaasan?

• Lie on your back with your palms facing the ground
• Take a deep breath in and with that exhale, press your palms into the floor and raise your legs towards the ceiling
• For added support, you can place your hands on your lower back
• You can also bend your knees if you’re losing balance
• Slowly & gradually, try touching your feet to the ground behind
• Breathe slowly. To come out of the post, slowly release your hands from your back and bring your feet flat on the ground

There are also a number of yoga postures which can be performed before Halaasan to prepare the body for this complex posture. These include Poorva Halasana or the preliminary plough pose, Sarvangasana and Setu Bandhasana. Similarly, there are some yoga postures which can be done post-Halaasan for added benefits like Bhujangasana and Pavanamuktasana.
