This posture is done laying down. Put your hands besides your head, hands should be kept differently. Put your legs folding and keep them apart. Now put your head to backward. You need to lift your body up with the help of your legs and hands support. When you are fully lifting your body, normal breathing. If you can, lift up your legs one by one. Then relax and slowly keep your body down.
This is quite hard posture to be done.  We need regular practice. If you are really interested to do, just practice and you can do it. But stop doing this if you are heart patient or you have high blood pressure.
