1. In Mountain Pose, raise your arms above your head with your palms together or parallel to each other.

3. Breathe here for 30 seconds.

1. Take a moment to completely relax the spine and bring awareness to your breath.

Cool Down

1. Begin by lying supine on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Engage your feet, pushing your heels away from you. Lengthen the back of the neck.
2. Inhale and sweep your arms overhead, keeping them flat on the floor with palms facing upward. Extend them fully, feeling an energizing stretch all the way from your fingertips to your heels. Take another deep breath here as you start to engage your core.
3. Remain here and breathe deeply for 60 seconds.

1. Bring your arms into a T-shape with palms facing the ground.
