Raise both arms above your head and stretch up. Bend forward from the hip joints, chin moving toward the toes. Keep the spine erect focusing on moving forwards towards the toes. Place your hands on your legs, wherever they reach, without forcing. Lift your head slightly and lengthen your spine, gently move the navel towards the knees. Drop your head down and breathe for sometime. Stretch the arms out in front of you. Come back to the sitting position and lower the arms.
