To do Tortoise Pose, begin sitting with the legs out front and press the hands into the mat next to the hips. Next, move the feet towards the edges of the mat and bring the heels in towards the sit bones and lean forward, bringing the arms straight under the knees with the chest down between the legs. The idea is to get the arms flag and horizontal to the mat while under the knees. Consult your local Yoga professional with help in achieving this posture!
