Poorvottanasana (Back-leaning Posture)

Lie down on your back. Keep knees, heels and toes of both legs together. Placing the hands at the sides, raise the legs up and bring them behind your head. Touch the ground with the toes. The legs should be kept absolutely straight. Stretch your arms towards the head and hold the toes with the respective hands. Push the legs backward enough so that the chin touches your chest.

Benefits:- Considerable pressure is exercised on the upper part of the body; neck, chest and shoulders, therefore, become elastic. Blood is purified; lungs and heart are, therefore, cleansed. The mind becomes steady and  ageing is delayed.
