Step 2. Stretch your left arm up over your head, and slide your right arm along the inside of your right leg.

Step 3. Reach your left arm towards your right foot until you feel a stretch.

Step 4. Allow gravity to pull you closer to that leg, and make space in your left side body.

Step 5. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on the opposite side. 

Step 6. Repeat stretch on both sides when done.
