Be barefoot. Lie down on your back on a firm surface. Visualize a straight line running from your chin, to your sternum, to your pubic bone. Lift your right foot from the floor and put a strap around the arch of the foot. Hold onto the ends of the strap in both hands. Keep your hips even throughout the pose. Rotate your pelvis back. Inhale and stretch your legs. Exhale and fold a little more at your right groin. Continue to synchronize the breathing and stretching action. Keep the back of your knees filled out and your shoulders dropped away from your ears and on the floor. Soften your gaze; quiet your hearing; relax your jaw. Breathe evenly and comfortably through your nose. Lower your right leg to the floor and repeat the same action with the left leg.
