Start with standing straight in Tadasana (tree pose). Inhale while stretching your arms forward and up in parallel line. Exhale, bending your knees with thighs as nearly parallel to the floor as possible and heels pressed into the ground, legs and knees together, and keeping spine, chest head, and arms in line. Hold as a static pose for four to eight breaths. To recover, reverse your path taken into the position, inhaling as your return to upright with arms over head, and exhaling as your lower your arms down to your sides. As a dynamic version, repeat moving into and out of the post, coordinating breath with movement. Repeat the dynamic version four to eight time in a slow and controlled manner.
