To practise Uttamangasana is not so easy as either Lolasana or kukkutasana. The body should be strong to practise this asana. Gymnasts can perform this asana very easily.
Technique : First sit in the position of padmsana. Then raise the knees and press them between the chest and the arms. Then raise the body with the force of the arms in such a way that the weight of the body falls on both the arms. While raising the body inhale and fill the lungs with air. Hold the breath. Exhale smoothly while coming to the original position. Gradually, incdrease the time for the practice of this asana. The limit is five minutes.
