To perform Ardha Matsyendrasana, it is recommended to first sit with both the legs stretched out of the body. Then take the right leg and place the foot on the floor, and bend the left leg under the right leg and place it close to the buttocks. Pass the left arm above the chest and the right leg and stretch it to hold the ankle of the right leg. Slowly twist the right palm and hold the sit bone. Hold the position for a few breaths and repeat for the other side.
“Transform yourself and become the best version of yourself,” wrote Malaika.
