This pose involves a fluid motion that is beneficial in exposing your ‘throat chakra’ and increasing blood supply to this area. It also stimulates organs in the belly like the adrenal glands which help you better respond to stress.

Steps:

· Come onto your hands and knees with wrists below shoulders and knees under hips

· Inhale and drop belly downwards and look upwards to lengthen your neck

· Exhale and draw the navel into the spine

· As you lift the spine towards the ceiling, tuck your chin into the chest

· Repeat the sequence a few times

· Release and relax

*Modification: You can use your fists instead of hands if carpal tunnel syndrome or wrist problems are a concern.
