Lie on your back. Place your arms alongside the body. Lift legs, so they are at right angles to the body. Place the ball between your feet and hold it firmly with the insides of both feet. Inhale. Gently tilt hips upwards. Continue breathing.
As the hips lift, place your hands below the waist, using them to prop the body up. Hold the pose, with the ball between your feet. Hold for as long as is comfortable, with normal breathing. Exhale. Gently lower the legs back to the ground, with the ball still between your feet. Relax. You may try this three times.
Benefits: This prevents abdominal sagging. The back is strengthened. Thyroid imbalances are removed. It is anti-aging and a calming pose.
