Chair Pose with Breath of Fire

2. Squat down until the tights are parallel to the floor.
3. Reach towards the toes, placing the palms on top of the feet, by bringing the hands through the inside of the legs, around to the outside. Keep the back straight and only lift the head and look forward if the heart center is very flexible.

Hold the position for 5 minutes.

Sat Kriya

Sit on the heels and stretch the arms straight over the head holding the ears with the elbows.
Interlock the fingers except the index fingers, which point straight up.

Continue for 5 minutes.
To finish, inhale and squeeze the muscles tightly from the buttocks all the way up the back, past the shoulders.
