Setup: Roll onto your left side and extend your legs straight, feet stacked one atop the other.

Step 1: Lift your head and shoulders and place your left hand directly below your shoulder. Lift your hips to form a straight line from your head to your feet.

Step 2: Exhale as you extend your right arm straight up so that your body looks like a T. Breathe deeply as you hold this position for 15 to 30 seconds, or as long as you can, while maintaining good form.

Repetitions: Repeat, this time on your right side.
