Excersise 2
Assume a Natural Standing Position.
Inhale and raise both arms until your hands are in
front of the body at abdomen height - palms facing inward
to hold an invisible balloon in front of you. Exhale
and interlock your fingers (palms upward).
Inhale and raise both arms in an arc to position the
hands (palms upward) one inch above the head. Exhale
and press both hands (palms upward) vertically, straightening
your arms as fully as possible (you will feel the stretch
in the arms and wrists). Simultaneously, raise your
heels so that you are on the balls of the feet. This
will enable you to stretch the entire body. Your vision
should follow the hand movements, i.e. the head is tilted
backward to keep the eyes looking at the back of the
hands. Remain in this posture.
Inhale and rotate the hands so that the palms face
your head, then lower the hands to a position one inch
above the head. Exhale and lower the arms in an arc
to the original position in front of your abdomen. Simultaneously,
lower the heel to the ground.
