Lying Criss-Cross Legs
On the back, legs straight up: open them wide, then cross them, alternating the leg in front.
How to do it
Setup
On the back, arms out to the sides, both legs raised straight toward the ceiling.
Steps
- Open the legs wide in a V.
- Close and cross them, one leg in front.
- Open again and cross with the other in front.
Common mistakes
Letting the legs drop toward the floor: keep them near vertical. Lower back lifting: press it into the mat. Flinging the legs open: control both directions.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
