the mat. Step your right foot straight forward
as far as you can. Make your left leg straight

into the floor and ground down firmly through
both feet. Lift your torso upright over your

and take your shoulders and arm bones

• Set your eyes straight ahead or look up
between your hands.
• Take five to ten long, calm breaths – be a
