Step 4. Smooth your obi (belt) around your waist.

Now wrap both ends of your obi around the sides of your waist to return to your front again.

Run your fingers along the obi all the way around your waist and smooth the belt in the back and around the sides so that it is doubled up and lies flat without any twists.

The obi should lie flat against your back and sides as if it were a single belt made of two layers.
