Stretching Exercise no.1


Lie down with your face down on the floor. Start as if you were going to do push-ups. Both the arms and legs are held straight supporting you and are spread out about the width of your shoulders and hips. Toes are in the flexed position.



With your arms stretched, perpendicular to the floor, extend the head back and arch the back so that the body is in a sagging position. Gently move your head backward as far as possible. Now breathe in and bend at the hips, bringing the body up into an inverted "V". At the same time, tuck your chin to chest. Exhale as you lower your body down.

Repeat all the movements gently. You can begin with 3 repetitions (or more, if you feel comfortable), and add 1 extra repetition daily, until you are performing 21 repetitions. This exercise further opens the energy centers in your body and stimulates the movement of energy throughout your body.
