Preparation
Soften both knees and shift your weight onto one foot.
Entry and alignment
Cross the opposite thigh over the standing leg and cross your arms in front. Your toes may touch the floor and the backs of your hands may meet.
Hold and breathe
Focus on a stable standing foot and pelvis rather than wrapping your legs more tightly. Keep breathing comfortably without holding your breath.
Exit and next movement
Uncross your arms and legs in turn and place both feet on the floor. Straighten your knees to stand.
Easier variations and preparation
Keep the upper foot's toes on the floor and wrap your arms around yourself.
