arms straight. Hold that position for some time and then take the arms backwards
as far as they will go. Now inhale again and release your breath slowly,
resuming the former position.
2. Stand with your arms straight at right angles to your body. Lift the arms vertically and then bring them to the level of the shoulders. Do not exhale in the process, but stand on your toes, lifting your heels as far as they will go. Exhale slowly after some moments and resume the earlier position.
3. Extend your arms forward up to the level of the shoulders. In hale and fill your lungs to about on third of their capacity. Wait for a few moments and then take your arms above your head. Now move them in a circular motion taking them behind your back and in the former position again. Exhale slowly.
4. Stand straight with your shoulders pulled back slightly. Interlace the fingers of both hands and support the back of your neck on your palms. Now lower your head so that your chin touches your chest. Remain in that position for some moments and then move your head ad far back as it will go. The pressure of the hands will be less than that of the palms.
5. Lie on your back on the floor with your arms at your sides touching the floor. Relax all the muscles of your body and try to expand your waist, the buttocks and the shoulders. Extent your feet like the claws of a beast, pull your head and shoulders upwards and expand your chest. Remain in that position and then exhale after some moments. Rest for a few moments and repeat the process but keep your hands under your head this time. Keep your feet fixed and take hold of something with your hands and in that position pull your body from the toes to the head. Repeat the procedure after resting for a few moments. This exercise will strengthen your spine.
