We breathe deeply, we stay tuned.
We slowly lift the legs, pelvis and torso from the ground. We push with the help of the hands the pelvis gradually reaching, finally, to keep the body in an upright position inverted.
We firmly support the trunk with the help of our hands, the elbows being placed on the ground, as support points. Now we can exhale and breathe freely, willingly.
The entire weight of the body in this posture rests on the shoulders, elbows and head, thus forming a supporting triangle.
The soles and, in general, all muscle groups that are not strictly necessary to maintain posture, should be as relaxed as possible. The body between the soles and the shoulders must be absolutely straight, remaining perpendicular to the supporting surface of the floor.
The comeback will be achieved slowly, without lifting the head off the ground for 1-2 minutes.
