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.
