3. Place your hands gently behind your head, with your fingertips just touching.

6. Bring your left elbow up to meet your right knee.

7. Return your right leg down to 45-degrees and lift the left knee into a 90-degree angle.

8. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with your left knee and right elbow.

Speed is not the name of the game here; go slowly to focus on your form and your breathing.

Also, it is not necessary to touch your elbows to your knees as this could cause strain in your neck.
