पादौ च भूमौ संस्थाप्य पृष्ठपार्श्वे निवेशयेत् । स्थिरकायं समासाद्य गोमुखं गोमुखाकृति: ॥२-१६॥

sanskrit

First of all, the seeker should place both his feet (toes) on the ground and place them on either side of his back (buttocks) (in this, both the knees will cross each other and will be on top of each other) and remain in the same position without moving the body. Keep in. In this way the shape of the body becomes like the mouth of a cow. This is called Gomukhasana.

प्रसार्य पादौ भुवि दण्डरूपौ करौ च पृष्ठे धृतपादयुग्मम् । कृत्वा धनुस्तुल्यपरिवर्त्तिताङ्गं निधाय योगी धनुरासनं तत् ॥२-१८॥

sanskrit

Lie on your stomach on the ground and keep both legs extended backwards like sticks. Now holding your feet with both hands (left foot with left hand and right foot with right hand) pull the body like a bow and change the body parts. Changing limbs means moving both your hands over your shoulders. Due to this, the elbows of both the hands move forward. This method is called Dhanurasana.
