You need to practice power yoga to make the body strong and flexible.

You need sufficient core strength to do Navasana or boat pose. First sit on the ground by putting the hands both the sides of your buttock area.  Now try to sit on the buttock by leaning towards back and stretch your legs out in the front. Lift them up by making an angle of 45 degrees to the ground. Make your spine straight and the lower tummy flat. Then raise your hands up to the knee keeping them parallel to the ground.
