If It’s Difficult

1
Place your palms on the floor alongside your body or reach forward to hold a stable support. Start by lifting your arms and one leg on an inhale and lowering them on an exhale. Alternate sides and build up to a longer hold gradually. A chair in front of you may ease strain in your shoulders and upper back.
