• Inhale, bring your hands up, move your torso and pelvic region forward and take your hands behind your back or touch your heels.
• Exhale, slowly come down and relax.
2. Bhujangasana
• Lie down on your stomach while keeping your palms next to your chest.
• Inhale, slowly go up while expanding your chest and shoulders.
• Exhale and come down.
3. Setu Bandhasana
• Lie down on your back and then fold your legs.
• Keep your hands on the ground. Inhale and lift your chest and hips up.
