 Matsyendra or Matsye in know as fish in Sanskrit. Therefore this asana can be performed as follows;
- Sit on the floor with your legs out straight in front of you, and buttocks supported on a folded blanket.
- Bend your knees, put your feet on the floor, and then slide your left foot under your right leg to the outside of your right hip. Place the outside of the left leg on the floor.
- Set the right foot over the left leg and stand it on the floor outside your left hip. The right knee shall be pointing directly up at the ceiling.
- Breathe out or exhale as you twist toward the inside of the right thigh. Now press the right hand against the floor just behind your right buttock, and set your left upper arm on the outside of your right thigh near the knee.
- Pull your front torso and inner right thigh together.
- Press the inner right foot very actively on the floor, release the right groin, and lengthen the front torso. Lean the upper torso back slightly, against the shoulder blades, and continue to lengthen your tailbone into the floor.
- You can now turn your head in one of two directions: Continue the twist of the torso by turning it to the right; or counter the twist of the torso by turning it to left and looking over the left shoulder at the right foot.
- With every inhalation or breathe taken in lift a little more through the sternum, pushing the fingers against the floor to help. Twist a little more with every exhalation.
- Always you must be sure to distribute the twist evenly throughout the entire length of the spine; don't concentrate it in the lower back.
