How to Perform

1
From Upward Lotus in Shoulderstand, keep the lotus compact and lengthen through the spine.
2
On an exhale, rotate knees and thighs to the right until the lotus faces sideways, maintaining weight over the shoulders.
3
Broaden across the ribs and breathe steadily as the trunk spirals without collapsing the neck.
4
Return to center, pause, and repeat to the left with equal time.
5
Unwind to neutral lotus, release the legs, and descend with control.
