Press the chin against the chest.. -While performing this pose, the back of the neck, the posterior part of the head and the shoulders should touch the floor. (I can assure you that you will say Hey, Ive done this before as a kidthis is yoga?) -Breathe in counts of 5-5-5 (inhalation, retention and exhalation). -Dont allow the body to shake.

It is done to bend the spine in the opposite direction. Fish Pose (Matsyasana): Lie on your back. Stretch the legs and keeps the hands palm down under the thighs. Raise the chest with the help of the elbows and, bending the neck as much as possible backwards, rest on the top of the head.
