Description

Stand with the back to the wall, join the hands on the forehead and bend the elbows at a right angle. Gently spread the elbows like wings until they touch the wall, then maintain that contact. Without changing the angle of the elbows, move the backs of the hands up and towards the wall, then lower them while turning so that the palms face the wall. Inhale as you open, exhale as you close, maintaining a slow, smooth, and painless rhythm.
