Step one
Sit on the floor on your heels. Place your hands flat on your thighs.
Flex the spine forward in the pelvic area with the inhale and backward
with the exhale. Repeat several times. You do this by rocking on your
sitting bones. Repeat three times.
Step two
Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Grab the ankles with both
hands and deeply inhale. Flex the spine forward and lift the chest by
rocking on your sitting bones. Repeat three times.
Step three
Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Grasp the shoulders with
fingers in front, and thumbs behind. Inhale and twist to the left;
exhale and twist to the right. Breathing is long and deep. Make sure
spine is straight. Repeat three times in each direction.
Step four
Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Lock fingers in a bear grip in
front of chest, elbows pointing out to the sides. Elbows move in a see
saw motion. Breathe deeply. Relax for one minute.
Step five
Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Grasp the knees firmly. Keep
the elbows straight. Inhale and shrug shoulders (this will begin to
flex the upper spine). Exhale and drop shoulders. Rest. Repeat three
times.
Step six
Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Lock fingers in a bear grip at
throat level. Inhale. Hold your breath; then squeeze your abdomen and
sphincter muscle and push the energy up as though you were pushing a
tube of toothpaste. Exhale the energy out of the top of your head, as
you raise your arms above your head, holding the same bear grip. Repeat
three times.

Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Stretch arms above head.
Interlock the fingers except the two index fingers, which point
