If possible, start this exercise by:

1. Going into downward facing dog stance and take 3 deep breaths.

2. Then, slowly walk your hands towards your feet to stand, gently rolling up through the spine.

3. Stand strong and tall.

If you don't want to be so overt or have limited mobility:

1. Go ahead and in an elongated stance, while taking a deep inhale, reach your arms toward the sky (envisioning taking in healing light).

2. As you exhale, still stretching outward, lower your arms to your sides releasing any stress.

​Remember, adding movement to your day is always a healthy plus! This can include simply moving your muscles, joints, and/ or consciously moving air in and out of your lungs.
