How to do it

While straightening your spine, inhale. Now while exhaling twist your upper torso towards the back of the chair. Keep the core of your body strong and firm while doing so. Now with hands on the chair and without rounding your shoulders, remain in the position for at least 30 seconds and breathe deeply five times. Now change the position. Do three reps.

How to do it

Keep your right hand placed firmly beneath the chair for support. Now raise your right arm above you and move your left shoulder downwards while your raised arm bends or stretches sideways over your head. Don’t do it fast but perform the stretch gently. Don’t lean your body back or forward and keep it straight at all times. Repeat ten times for each side.
