Meru Vakrasana (Spinal twist, first version)

Sit on the floor with your legs out in front of you. Fold the right leg at knee, placing back of the foot high up on the left thigh. Ensure the right knee is touching ground. Inhale. Exhale, twist to right side, simultaneously reaching your right hand behind to hold the big toe of your right foot from behind your back. Left hand should be holding your left big toe. Continue breathing normally, holding for a few seconds. Release. Repeat a few times. Then repeat entire sequence for the other side.

Note: Initially it may be difficult to hold either toe. In which case, reach only as far as you can, holding either ankle or knee as per flexibility.
