How to do it

Steps :

1.) Begin by standing with your feet shoulder with apart, bending your left knee and extending your right leg up.

2.) Use the momentum of your right leg lifting to wrap it around the opposite whilst wrapping your left arm on top of your right.

3.) Keeping your elbows crossed, bring the backs of your hands towards each other and cross your wrists and forearms bringing your palms together.

4.) From there lift your elbows up so that they rise off your chest stretching your shoulders.

5.) Hold this pose for 5 to 10 breaths and return back to the starting position.

6.) Repeat this pose on the opposite side.
