  • Start at the back of your mat, in Mountain Pose, bring your hands to your heart (Namaste); circle your arms out and above your head bringing your hands together above the crown of your head.  
  • Slowly lower your hands to down your throat, heart, and other chakras (energy centers of the body) including the knees until you come to a standing forward bend.
  • Lower your hands to the mat and and come down to the four-legged table pose (on all fours on your hands and knees).

  • Bring the palms of your hands together above the crown of your head. Your fingertips are pointing away from you and your arms are straight.
  • Bend your elbows with the palms of the hands still together and lower your hands to the back of your head and neck (throat/shoulders).  Your fingers are pointing to the ceiling.
  • Lower your hands to shoulder or breast height with one hand on each side of the body.
  • Press back into child's pose.
