Tighten your thigh muscles and lift your kneecaps. Keep your lower body loose. Strengthen the inner arches of your inner ankles as you lift them. Gently turn your upper thighs inward. Elongate the tailbone and lift your pubis so that it is closer to the navel. Breathe in and stretch your shoulders, arms and chest upwards. Feel the stretch and hold the pose for a few seconds.

Veer Bhadhraasana

This asana will increase your stamina, improve balance and concentration and take care of your backache.

Then turn your left foot 90 degrees to the left and bend your left knee. The angle of hips and arms should be same i.e. 180 degrees. Stay in this position for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat on the other side.
