Standing Backward Bend (Ardha Chakrasana)

• Stand straight with feet together and arms alongside the body.
• Breathing in, extend your arms overhead, palms facing each other.
• Breathing out, gently bend backwards, keeping the arms in line with the ears, elbows and knees straight, head up, and lifting your chest towards the ceiling.
• Stay in that position for some time. Breathing in, come back to stand straight.
• Breathing out, bring the arms down and relax.
