Lie on your back with your arms reaching straight up and your knees bent at a right angle above your hips. This is your starting position. Breathe out as you slowly lower one arm overhead and the opposite leg toward the floor, keeping your lower back pressed gently into the mat. Breathe in as you return to the start, then switch sides. Continue alternating sides for 6 to 8 slow breaths.
