Eagle Arms
Open your arms wide out to the sides. Bring your arms toward each other and cross your right arm under your left arm. Bend your elbows, and if you can, wrap your wrists so your palms touch. As you inhale, bring your elbows in line with your chin. Exhale and drop your chin down. Breathe into your upper back and neck for 3 to 10 breaths, then repeat on the other side.
