The Low Lunge Arch

Step your right foot forward into a lunge and lower your left knee onto the floor or onto a folded towel or blanket.
 Bring your arms in front of your right leg and hook your thumbs together, palms facing the floor.

Breathe in as you sweep your arms overhead, stretching as far back as is comfortable. Take five deep breaths. Switch sides and repeat.

The Standing Side Stretch

Stand with your feet together and your arms straight overhead. Clasp your hands together, with your fingers interlaced and pointer fingers extended. Inhale as you reach upward.

 Breathe out as you bend your upper body to the left. Take five slow breaths.      Slowly return to the center. Repeat four times. Repeat on the right side.
