3. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

Breathing Technique
1. Inhale as you extend your right leg and exhale as you bring your right elbow to meet your left knee.
2. Always keep your breathing steady and consistent throughout the exercise.

2. Place your hands behind your head, elbows out.
3. Tuck your chin slightly and lengthen your spine.
