Stand upright with feet hip-distance apart & arms relaxed by the sides, take a deep inhalation, stretching the arms overhead & lengthening up through the spine. This pose helps to enhance good postural habits & concentration.

Starting from hands & knees, lift the hips straight to the sky while stretching the legs down into an inverted V. Press the heels towards the floor & drop the head downwards in between the arms. This pose provides a great stretch for the whole body.
