As thigh muscles are lengthened and toned, this will help to reduce hips and thighs. The second pose shows the necessary support, using palms placed down on floor, to lower head. There should be an arch between head and buttocks as in the third pose when body is in the supine position. Palms are together over the chest, and the pose is held for 5 seconds while breathing freely. To come up, place palms on floor for support.
