1. Kneeling position with ox arms relax shoulders and upper arms and open chest

Place some cushion between your heels and hips and sit on it to relieve pressure on your legs. Breathe gently and slowly, deep into your lungs, feeling your lower body lower and your spine growing upward. Grab a strap or tie with your left hand, raise your arm around your head, and place the hand holding the strap behind your neck. Extend your right hand behind your body and grasp the hanging strap as high as possible and as far as you can reach your fingertips if possible. Tilt your head forward so that it is clear of your arms. Stretch your high elbows and open your chest. Slowly relieve the pressure on your shoulders and upper arms and lengthen your spine. Hold your breath for a moment, then repeat the right hand movement.

Note: If you have circulation problems, such as varicose veins, hemorrhoids or cramps, or hard knees and ankles, it's best to sit on a low stool or large support mat and lower your knees to the ground. If you feel slight discomfort in your ankles, try kneeling on a small cushion with your forefeet until they become softer.
