Preparation
This posture helps in strengthening and relieving stiffness in shoulders, arms and upper back and gives a nice stretch to the hamstrings. Let's check the steps: Stand erect with the feet widely spread apart. This is the starting position.
Method
Step 1
Inhale, bring your hands to the back, and interlock the fingers
Step 2
Exhale, bend forward, and raise your hands up, so that the shoulder blades come closer
Step 3
Hold the posture for 5 breaths
Step 4
Inhale, slowly drop your hands on the lower back and raise your head up
Step 5
Exhale, release the hands and return to the starting position
Step 6
Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions
Step 7
Precautions: People with serious neck/arm/shoulder problems should not practice this posture.
